Blackpool FC Community Trust column: Half-term holiday camps for local youngsters
Blackpool FC Community Trust returns with its latest weekly column for the Gazette.
Blackpool FC Community Trust delivers sports, dance and football camps every school holiday.
They give young people across the Fylde coast opportunities to stay active, build confidence and make new friends in a fun and supportive environment.
Our next camps will take place from Monday, October 19 to Friday, November 6.
This October half-term, sports camps will be held at Unity Academy, Armfield Academy, Anchorsholme Academy, Roseacre Primary Academy and Stanley Primary School.
Designed for children aged five to 14, the camps offer a wide range of activities including football, dodgeball, cricket, dance, board games and arts and crafts.
There’s something for everyone, with children of all abilities encouraged to get involved, learn new skills and have fun.
Due to the continued popularity of our holiday sports camps, parents and guardians are encouraged to book early and secure a place.
Children should wear suitable clothing and trainers for indoor and outdoor activities, as well as bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink.
Our mixed football and girls’ football camps will take place at Aspire Sports Hub, giving young players the chance to develop their skills in a safe and engaging environment.
Sessions are delivered by qualified BFCCT coaches and include ball mastery, core football fundamentals and fun, competitive activities designed to help players improve their game.
Our dance camp will also return, this time at Unity Academy, and is also for children aged five to 14.
Participants will learn new routines across a variety of dance styles while developing confidence, creativity and teamwork in a fun environment.
