Half-term courses open

Bookings are now being taken for aspiring young players who want to take part in special West Ham United backed coaching courses during the coming February half-term with all children taking part getting a free West Ham United home shirt to help them remember their experience by.

Courses start at 9.30am and finish at 2.30pm. Each child will be put into a group according to their age and ability, and given high quality coaching from our professional staff.

West Ham United Community Sports Trust holiday courses provide a safe and friendly environment for children of all abilities aged six to 14 years, with the emphasis on fun, enjoyment and participation. Throughout the morning technical classes enable individuals to acquire new skills, with afternoons consisting of structured games and matches.

An additional course feature this year is Academy-led sessions. These offer advanced coaching to selected players, and provide the opportunity for individuals to progress to an Academy trial.
