Cllr Robert Tate, Chair of the Safer North Hampshire* community safety partnership, said: “This is a great opportunity for young people to develop their skills and take part in a healthy sporting activity outdoors. I hope it is as popular as ever.”
Cllr John Kennett, Hart District Council Cabinet Member for Regulatory Services and Community Safety, said: “These courses are a fabulous way for young people to make new friends and learn to work as a team. They will have opportunities to play football matches and win trophies as well as learning lots of footballing tips to improve their game.”
