Have your pupils ever dreamed of showing off their football skills at a Premier League stadium?
The Premier League Schools Tournament is back for 2017 and West Ham United need you to represent us in this year’s heats.
The tournament gives hundreds of youngsters the unique opportunity of following in the footsteps of their heroes, with the finals taking place at Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea FC. Not only will they compete on the first team pitch, Premier League referees will be on hand to officiate, and there may even be a few familiar faces watching on from the side-lines.
The annual event, held at a different Premier League stadium each year, will see Under-11 mixed teams and Under-13 girls’ teams compete.
