He has thoroughly enjoyed both years due to the relationships he formed with the coaches and other players. In his first year he didn't know anyone attending but the coaches were great with getting him involved straight away. His football development has improved significantly due to attending the 5 day course. Excellent value for money and I will be signing him up again for his third year in a row!
