KIDDERMINSTER Harriers Community Scheme will be holding their holiday soccer schools during Whit Week.

The courses are open to boys and girls aged from five to 14 years.

The emphasis is on fun and all abilities are welcome. All courses start at 10am and end at 3pm.

The courses will include the Adidas Skill Challenge where children can record how fast their shooting is and how quickly they can dribble with the ball. There will also be a Champions League tournament.

The course in the Wyre Forest area will be held at St John's Middle School on Thursday June 2 and Friday June 3.

There will also be courses in Malvern, Worcester, Droitwich and Bromsgrove.

For an application form or for further details, contact Nick Griffiths or Ady Mansfield on 01562 863821.

Meanwhile, the Harriers Football in the Community Scheme has been awarded £1,000 from the government initiative Sportsmatch.

They have matched pound for pound Severn Trent Tele-com's sponsorship of Harriers girls Football development programme.

The award will allow Harriers coaches to provide football coaching to girls in schools and to put on a specialist coaching course for outfield players and goalkeepers.

The specialist course will take place from 6pm on Thursdays from June 9, at the Royal Institute of the Blind, in Worcester.
