AFC Bournemouth
It has been a busy Easter Holiday so far!
We’ve returned from our coaching trip to Australia, which was an excellent opportunity to deliver Soccer School sessions for pupils from Gregory Terrace, St Joseph’s College, as well as hosting a CPD event for coaches at Brisbane City FC.
This week, we continue our Soccer Schools and have also showcased our young talented players at Tuesday’s open training event. Players from the AFC Bournemouth under-10 and under-12 girls teams, alongside our Cerebral Palsy and Downs Syndrome training groups were pitchside prior to the training session.
We are also looking forward to this weekend’s Premier League fixture against Fulham, which is our designated match day. Prior to the game, why not head to the Junior Fanzone, where you will find the Community Sports Trust coaches hosting fun activities and games for the children, including FIFA, football challenges and our popular powerstrike.
Eddie Howe, Jason Tindall and the first team squad will be showing their support too. Management will be wearing Community Sports Trust pin-badges and the players will warm up in our branded t-shirts. The t-shirts will have our social media links on the back, so check out our pages there!
Saturday’s flagbearers have all been selected from various Community Sports Trust programmes including Care South, AFC Bournemouth girls teams, Primary Stars and Premier League Kicks. They will all be wearing Community Sports Trust t-shirts as they form a guard of honour for the players to walk out onto the pitch.
We’ll also be hosting the half-time penalty shoot-out for children as normal and we look forward to welcoming some of the fans onto the pitch to try their luck from the spot.
