What better way to make your child's day than by handing them the opportunity to play on the Boleyn Ground's hallowed turf in front of thousands of Hammers?
Brand new for the 2013/14 Barclays Premier League campaign and in association with West Ham United Community Sports Trust, the Club are now offering a unique matchday experience, tailored specifically for young groups.
The perfect outing for birthday parties, football clubs and school trips, groups of between ten and 15 children will start their day with a private and professional training session courtesy of the Trust's elite coaches, before heading to the Boleyn Ground.
Then, when Sam Allardyce's Hammers return to the dressing room at the interval, it will be all eyes on your special visitors, as they take to the turf for a series of fun football challenges, culminating in a small-sided game.
What's more, our very own Hammerhead and Bubbles will be on hand to cheer on your group.
With the Club's famed mascot packages completely selling out last season, the Hammers' latest matchday offering is sure to be every bit as popular, not least with the rare and prized opportunity of playing on the pitch.
Orsett Park Royals Under-8s became the first group to pilot the exclusive scheme, showing off their skills during the half-time interval of the Hammers' clash with Stoke City. See what the Royals made of their big day out on the Club's official YouTube channel here.
Royals assistant manager and Hammers Season Ticket Holder Darren Lovegrove told West Ham TV: "It's a day they are going to remember for the rest of their lives.
"My son Ronnie, who plays for the team, struggled to go to bed last night and I struggled to sleep myself, I'm not sure who's more excited, me or him! It's going to be a great day."
Your matchday package will include:
• Fun-filled activities on the pitch at half-time in front of a crowd of spectators
• A two-hour coaching session at the West Ham United Community Sports Trust
• Complementary match ticket in the Family Stand - the Sir Trevor Brooking Stand Upper
