UNDER-SEVEN teams and coaches will prepare themselves for the second half of the season, and the new flexible formats of football, at the Chelmsford Youth League’s Festival and Coaches Workshop on Saturday, January 24, at Melbourne Park’s 3G pitch.

The fun festival, which runs between noon and 2:30pm in Salerno Way near Chelmsford City FC, is an event for all the league’s under-sevens teams to enjoy and learn from.

And a coaches workshop will provide advice and tips, plus an idea-sharing opportunity for under-sevens coaches in the league, focussing on player development and matchday management, including practical coaching ideas.

To confirm your attendance, email ian.bent@essexfa.com or emma.burden@essexfa.com with your team’s name, an approximate number of players and the names of your coaches.

Grassroots football information can be found at www.essexfa.com, on Twitter @EssexCountyFA and by searching for ‘EssexFootball’ on Facebook.
