Young footballers took to the pitch at King George V Park on Friday 7th August for a free football session during the summer holidays.
The Free Football Friday session was run by Future of Football (FOF), giving local youngsters the chance to enjoy the sport for free, whether they regularly play for a local club or were picking up a football for the first time.
The programme has been supported by Melksham Town Council, which has organised a range of sporting opportunities for young people during the school holidays.
Head of Coaching and Development at FOF, Curtis Goodwin, said, “It’s been great to see such a brilliant turnout for the sessions. We’ve had over 100 children sign up for the summer dates, and it’s nice for our team of coaches to give back to the community.”
Future of Football also runs weekly, skill-based development sessions for children from Reception age upwards.
For enquiries about Free Football Fridays or to book a free weekly taster session, email cgoodwin@futureoffootball.co.uk.
