All sessions are run by fully qualified AITC coaches with FA coaching badges and the emphasis is on learning new skills while having fun. There are also courses aimed specifically at goalkeepers.

A spokesman for AITC said: “We want everyone to have a great time, make friends and improve their football skills in a safe, structured and fun environment, whatever their ability.

“Children are also encouraged to appreciate the benefits of teamwork and to develop their self-confidence.”

AITC has been running holiday soccer schools since 1990 and the charity has helped thousands of local children enjoy their football during that time.
