Free youth football coaching sessions kick off again in Buxton after winter break

The free sessions usually run every Wednesday at Buxton Community School, starting at 6pm, but successive bouts of snow have forced a winter break for the past three weeks.

Coaches Simon Thorpe, Ricky O’Brien and Dean Hope will be back out on the pitch on Wednesday, March 22, and want girls and boys aged eight to 18 to come and join them.

The Stockport County community programme has invested in 25 new balls to get things rolling again, so players just need to show up in suitable kit.

The trio in charge, who have links to the Manchester City development centre as well as Stockport County, are also inviting prospective sports coaches to get involved and gain experience of leading activities.
