Blackpool FC Community Trust column: Plenty on offer at our Easter camps this year
Blackpool FC Community Trust delivers sports, dance and football camps every school holiday, with the next ones taking place from March 30-April 10 – excluding Bank Holidays.
This Easter, our sports camps are being held at Unity Academy, Anchorsholme Academy, Roseacre Academy, Stanley Primary School and Armfield Academy.
A variety of exciting activities, including football, dodgeball, cricket, dance and more are on offer at the camps, which give children aged five to 14 – of all abilities – the chance to develop their skills while having fun.
Due to the continued popularity of our holiday sports camps, parents and guardians are encouraged to book early to secure a place.
Children attending should wear suitable clothing for indoor and outdoor activities, as well as trainers, and bring a packed lunch and plenty to drink.
Our mixed football and girls’ football camps will take place at Aspire Sports Hub, offering young players the chance to develop new skills in a safe and engaging environment.
Sessions are delivered by qualified BFCCT coaches, focusing on ball mastery, core football fundamentals and fun, competitive activities designed to help players improve their game.
In partnership with AVR Dance, our dance camp will also return this Easter for children aged five to 14.
These sessions offer an exciting opportunity for participants to learn new routines across a variety of dance styles while building confidence, creativity and teamwork.
