Youngsters have been encouraged to get off the sofa and get active this half-term with a series of football sessions in the north Norfolk area.
The sessions, lasting one or two days over Monday and Tuesday have been run as part of Norwich City Football Club's Football in the Community programme, which aims to improve the health, social esteem, and skills of children and adults across Norfolk and north Suffolk.
David Chick is a Football in the Community coach and was running sessions at Cromer Sports centre on Monday.
He said: “We have around 22-24 kids come here, the aim is to get as many kids from the local area, the youngest we have is five and the oldest is 13.
“We want them to have fun and go away with a smile on their face having learnt something.”
Other football sessions designed especially for youngsters with physical and learning disabilities, are running throughout the half term at Sidestrand Hall School, City of Norwich High School, Norwich, Lynn Grove High School in Great Yarmouth, Attleborough Junior School, and Fred Nicholson School, Dereham.
