The ITFC Charitable Trust is running its SCORE courses during the Whitsun half-term. The courses give children the opportunity to develop their football skills and make new friends in the county’s most unique and exciting venue, overseen by the Trust’s professional and experienced coaching staff.

Holiday football courses are suitable for children of all abilities aged 4 — 12 and take place at various indoor and outdoor venues throughout Suffolk: Bury St Edmunds, Framlingham, Felixstowe, Ipswich, Mildenhall, Saxmundham, Thetford and Woodbridge.

The Trust offer a range of different football courses which assist in the development of each child’s football techniques. Whilst on a course children will learn key skills such as passing, dribbling, tackling and shooting.

Specialist courses such as the goalkeeping training camps offer a unique opportunity to focus on key techniques such as quick feet and ball distribution, making sure that aspiring keepers can get a firm grip on how to play the position.

The ITFC Charitable Trust is also very passionate about girls’ football development and therefore a girls-only training camp is offered every school holiday, open to girls of all abilities aged between 5 and 12 years.

One of the projects the Trust is most proud of is their award-winning Ability Counts programme, which offers football activities across Suffolk for children, young people and adults who have learning difficulties, physical disabilities and mental health issues.

The range of programmes under the Ability Counts banner also extends to their holiday programme with a one-day specialist children’s course which offers those aged from 5 — 12 years football coaching tailored to meet each individual’s specific needs.

The ITFC Charitable Trust also offers the popular Crazee’s Club, a course designed specifically for younger children aged 4 — 6 years.

ITFC Score will be running throughout the Whitsun half-term from the 31st May — 3rd June. Two-day football courses can be booked for £20 with one-day specialist courses at £10 and Crazee’s Club £8.
