OLDBURY Park Tigers are celebrating after achieving FA Charter Development Status.

Worcester MP Mike Foster visited to congratulate the youth football club who also claimed an FA National Innovation Award last year for their link-up with Dines Green Primary School.

The charter standard recognises Tigers' commitment to child protection and safety as well as coaching, player development and raising the standards of behaviour.

Tigers hold open training sessions for boys and girls on Sunday mornings at Oldbury Park Primary School except during school holidays.

They cater for years five and six from 9am until 10.30am and years one to four from 10.45am until 11.45am. Those interested in a free session should bring along a copy of this story.

Anyone requiring more details on the club or budding volunteers can call Jon Wilson on 01905-428419 or 07742-428153.
