TeamGB wins Play2Learn Olympic football

More than forty children took part in Play2Learn’s Olympic football competition at the Royal High School yesterday.

Ranging in age from four up to teenagers, it was a fun day for all of the youngsters who represented the footballing nations of the world at the event.

And the champions? In a hard-fought contest it was – you’ve guessed it – local heroes Team GB who came out on top to lift the trophy!

Stroll up for Saturday football coaching

Civil Service Strollers are running football training sessions for youngsters on Saturday mornings at their Telford College Playing Fields home on Marine Drive.

Operating in partnership with Play2learn Sports Coaching, Diamond Football is fast-flowing four-a-side football game that ensures young players get more touches, develops positional awareness and improves first-touch skills – and most important, it’s fun to play!
