YOUNG footballers will have the opportunity to improve their skills this August when Westbury hosts the Alan Ball Football Academy.

Elements such as discipline, sportsmanship and teamwork will be focused on along with developing young players to their highest potential.

Mixed groups of up to 16 children will be run in five age bands, from under sevens to over 13s, but children can be moved between groups to better suit their physical ability.

The cost of the academy is £40, which includes an Alan Ball Football Academy T-shirt, a certificate of attendance signed by Alan Ball and prizes throughout the camp.

The course will run from August 23-25. To book a place or for more information call (01373) 824448.
