Monster Kicks

WITH Halloween just around the corner, Coleraine FC BTEC Sports Students organised a monster kicks football coaching event at The Showgrounds…

The event took place on Friday, October 26 with pupils from Ballysally Primary School.

Monster Licks is an initiative supported by Sports Direct UK with the aim of increasing participation numbers in football within Primary Schools across the UK.

80 children from Ballysally PS took part in the event on a sun kissed morning at The Showgrounds, which started off with a quick tour of the first-team gym and changing area.

This allowed the pupils to be photographed sitting in their favourite players seat. A certain Lyndon Kane was a firm favourite on the day with many pupils having dreams of following in his foot steps. After the tour, it was time for the main event/ 45 minutes of fun filled games followed and was finished off with 45 minutes of matches.

A special thank you to Eugene McKenna, Games Development Officer for Olympic Handball Ireland for his support on the day by providing pupils a taster session of handball and for helping to run the event.
