⚽️ Marist in the Community | School Football Sessions! 🟩⬜️

Our Director of Football CJ returned to Cloverlea School for the final time yesterday to deliver another fun and engaging lunchtime football skills session with the rain coming down it was a more technical focused indoors session, which the children engaged really well with learning some new skills as part of our initiative to promote football across the region.

It has been wonderful to see so many children taking part and learning new skills or even playing football for the first time with so much amazing feedback from the schools!

With The FIFA World Cup and All Whites in full flow now it’s been amazing seeing the schools allowing the children to watch the games and the buzz around the beautiful game currently 🏆⚽️

A massive Thank You to Cloverlea School for allowing us to come in and deliver these sessions! 🤩

We take great pride as a club to be in a position to provide these opportunities and build stronger relationships within our community 💚
