Horsham District Council cabinet member for culture and leisure, Cllr Jonathan Chowen, commented: “Culture surrounding sport is all-important, and to have Horsham FC and Chelsea FC working together to offer this incredible opportunity, for free, to local children is an inspiring way of involving young people in the Year of Culture, in an easily accessible fashion.”

The free soccer skill sessions are open to all children under 15, with two sessions for under eights to under 11s and two sessions for under 12s to under 15s.

The 60-minute session will use the whole of the new 3G pitch and divide it into five ‘skill zones’ teaching different skills in each one.

It is important children wear the appropriate footwear on the 3G pitch.

Chelsea FC will also be bringing an inflatable football target as well as the Chelsea FC mascot Stamford the Lion, who will be selfie ready!

The new stadium will be open for refreshments and parents are very welcome to stay and enjoy the facilities.

Spaces for this workshop are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.
