Chorley Football Club is opening its doors in a bid to provide local youngsters with the opportunity to gain a range of qualifications.

The club will be holding an NVQ Level 2 course in Sport Recreation and Allied Occupations with Activity Leadership.

It will run one day per week for a total of three hours per day and is for 16-18 year-olds girls and boys.

The duration of the course is 20-26 weeks and the training will be club based, all the students will receive a minimum of seven qualifications.

The scheme has been developed by Luis Michael Training and will be delivered in partnership with Chorley FC and Xtra Time Training.

The course is totally free of charge and to enrol all students are required to do is provide their National Insurance number, their full home address, proof of date of birth and an emergency contact number.

There is no minimum qualification requirement for acceptance onto the course.

Students will become actively involved with various aspects of the football club and Chorley FC will provide all learners with tasks that are relevant to their studies.

Chairman of the club, Ken Wright said: “I am hoping the scheme will be a success and I am delighted at the prospect of helping develop local young people with both their academic studies and football talents.

“Although primarily it is a training scheme, we will also be able to cast an eye over potential young Chorley FC footballers.

“We hope to bring a real sense of community cohesion and spirit to Chorley.”
