Rodgers and co take Foundation challenge
Brendan Rodgers and staff from the Melwood backroom team took part in a fun-filled challenge day hosted by the club's official charity, the Liverpool FC Foundation, on Wednesday.
The event, which took place at Anfield Sports and Community Centre (ASCC), was attended by 40 children from All Saints Catholic Primary School and Phoenix (special educational needs) Primary School, which are two of the Foundation's partner schools.
The children were split into four groups and joined by members of Melwood staff to complete the various fun tasks which included 'Beat the Goalie' and relay challenges, which are part of the Foundation's programmes that provide sporting opportunities that inspires positive change.

Rodgers spent time with each of the groups helping them to gain as many points as possible within their allocated 10 minutes per challenge.
Rodgers said: "This afternoon was great fun and a chance for me and the team at Melwood to be part of the LFC Foundation.
"We are always keen to show our support whenever we can because the work they deliver is fantastic and makes a real difference to people's lives."
Mark Haig, Liverpool FC Foundation's head of operations, added: "All the participants and our coaching staff thoroughly enjoyed today's activities. These types of events really highlight the great work that the Foundation delivers on a daily basis in local communities across the city region and beyond.
"It's brilliant that Brendan and the team from Melwood have made time to engage with the Foundation and see the impact of our work first hand."
After the challenge, Brendan congratulated all the teams and presented each participant with a certificate, signed team photograph and an LFC goodie bag.
