Fun Football sessions with FA qualified coaches are free for Chesterfield children

FA qualified coaches will be guiding girls and boys, aged between five and 11, at Outwood Academy, Newbold on September 4, 11, 18 and 25. The hour-long sessions start at 1.15pm.

After eight successful sessions were held in the spring and summer, McDonald’s is offering another four more sessions in Chesterfield, meaning 240 under elevens will have the opportunity to learn from top coaches.

Fun Football, which is provided by McDonald’s franchisee Walter Wright, focuses on creating an environment where every child can take part and enjoy football whether they are new to the game or looking to further develop their skills.

Demand for football coaching has spiked nationwide following England reaching the final of Euro 2020 – with new registrations from children inspired to play football for the first time surging 111% following the tournament.

Walter Wright said: “Being active has a benefit for children – and I’m delighted to be able to help facilitate 240 hours of free Fun Football sessions for children in the area. With coaching provided by FA qualified coaches, it is a great opportunity to experience football for the first time or to work on developing skills and technique.

“Following the inspirational performances of the Three Lions on the European Stage this summer, we hope as many boys and girls as possible are encouraged to become involved football.”
