Taking place on Saturday June 29 at Horsham Football Club, Hop Oast, Chelsea FC Foundation coaches will be joining the Horsham FC staff at the soccer skills day to provide a day of free coaching.

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.
