The Leeds United Foundation are launching their next block of Skills Centres for youngsters throughout Leeds that would like the opportunity to develop their football skills.

The Skills Centre programme has been running for a number of years through the club’s official charity and it is suitable for all ages, but it is especially beneficial for players aged 5-14 years.

The various centres on offer each focus on individual skills, with four main areas for development, including ball control, movement, passing/receiving, and attacking/defending.

All of the Foundation coaches delivering the sessions are FA qualified and DBS checked, and throughout every session they will encourage the young participants to learn new skills to develop their abilities and be creative, improving their confidence each and every week whilst working hard and respecting each other, and most importantly having fun.

For the full six-week course, starting from the week commencing 27th February, it is just £42 per child. The various available locations and days are as follows:
