Saints Soccer Centre
The highly popular Saturday morning Saints Soccer Centre are currently running again.
The Soccer Centre, which is part of the Scottish Hydro Electric Super Skills programme, runs each Saturday through until 15th November and there are three courses each day:
9.30am – 10.30am (Primary 1 and 2)
10.30am – 11.30am (Primary 3 and 4)
11.30am – 12.30am (Primary 5, 6, 7 and Secondary years 1 and 2)
There is no need to pre-book or attend every one – just come along at the appropriate time and pay your £2.50 on the day. The sessions consist of specially devised training plus fun games and are a huge hit so if you have never tried it before, why not come along this Saturday?
