Have you seen LFC soccer schools?
Liverpool Football Club's Academy coaches will be offering soccer schools for youngsters over the coming months at locations across the city as well as overseas in Ireland.
The three-day specialist programmes for outfield players and goalkeepers aged between five and 16, are designed to develop the potential of every child that attends, from enhancing their confidence and improving their ball skills to ensuring courses are fun and rewarding.
Coaches will be holding sessions in Galway and Dublin as well as training children in Belfast and Ballynahinch in Northern Ireland. Meanwhile closer to home, the club's Kirkby Academy and the Netherton Activities Centre (NAC) will play host to the soccer schools.
The NAC, on Glovers Lane, Netherton, has state-of-the-art facilities, including four five-a-side and two seven-a-side pitches which are complete with 3G technology, long rubber infill and synthetic grass.
And in November 2011, the redeveloped site was officially opened by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, who played much of his football at the NAC when he was a youngster.
Overall, £2.6 million has been spent on the leisure centre, helping to install fitness rooms, a library, a sensory facility for disabled visitors and a large IT suite.
