Sites this year include Brighton, Hassocks, Worthing, Eastbourne, Battle, Bexhill, and Steyning.

The soccer schools are open to boys and girls aged from five to 14; prices start at £23 a day - with a 10% sibling discount available for families with more than one child attending. Two-day courses are £39.

All sessions are run by AITC coaches and the emphasis is on learning new skills while having fun. There are also courses aimed specifically at goalkeepers.

Dave Green, the charity's football development manager, said: 'Our courses are always lots of fun. We want people to have a great time, make new friends and improve their football skills, whatever their ability.'
