Fabio supports school sports stars
Fabio Borini delighted youngsters at a local Anfield school when he took part in a Barclays Premier League sports programme delivered by the Liverpool FC Foundation.
The Reds' No.29 joined a group of 30 year five students at Four Oaks Primary School and took part in their PE lesson, which included a warm-up and an exciting game of dodgeball.
Borini said: "Meeting the children today and watching them enjoy their sport was fantastic. It was fun to join in with their session and share my knowledge with them."
The Premier League school sports programme delivers high-quality curriculum time coaching aimed at improving physical activity and teaching and developing new skills.
The scheme also opens up opportunities into competitive football in the form of the Premier League Schools Tournament.
The foundation, which has had a relationship with the school for more than 14 years, delivers two curriculum PE sessions every Thursday as well as an after school football club.
Andrea Cooper, head of the Liverpool FC Foundation, said: "We deliver the Premier League school sports programme and foundation mini-leagues in 60 schools across the city region, bringing a wealth of sporting opportunities to hundreds of youngsters.
"This is something we are keen to develop to increase sporting participation and help more local children and their families to become active."
