The YMCA Football Academy has already attracted more than 60 youngsters.

It runs from 10am to 3pm Monday to Friday under the personal supervision of Neil Thornber who holds the new UEFA coaching award.

Cost for YMCA members is £40 or £45 for non-members.

Also starting on August 10 is a week-long tennis course.
