IFA Launch Easter Football Camps

The Irish Football Association (IFA) have launched the application process for Easter football camps which will be held across 30 locations in Northern Ireland.

The three-day training camps, in partnership with Nutty Krust, will take place over the school holidays later this month. Aspiring footballers can develop and improve their skills on the pitch in a structured, fun environment with professionally trained and vetted staff.

Important aspects of the game including passing, dribbling, attacking, defending, shooting and small-sided games are all included in the three days of training.

Michael O'Neill, the manager of Northern Ireland's football team, said: "As International Team Manager I hope you can join us at one of the camps this Easter. Our Easter football camps provide boys and girls aged 5-13 with a great opportunity to develop new football skills and make new friends. Every child who takes part will receive a Nutty Krust goodie bag. Join us and bring a friend to one of this year's camps."

The schemes are priced at £21 per child, with savings to be made when booking multiple places.

Further details, including a list of locations and what to bring along, can be found here.
