Rovers' Community Trust has once again been running its successful summer Soccer Schools for the past five weeks.

Over 450 boys and girls, aged between 5-16, from all over Lancashire, and as far afield as Hong Kong, Bradford and London, have been put through their paces at the club's Indoor Centre.

The participants have been learning all the latest football skills and drills, playing tournaments and hearing about the health, fitness and diets needed to become better players.

At the end of week, everyone who attended was rewarded with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Ewood Park, learning about the history of the club, visiting the players' changing rooms and finding out how the media report on matches.



Claire Newton, Active Communities Officer at the Trust, said: "It's fantastic that more young people are becoming more physically active over the holiday period.

"The summer camps are a perfect way for young people to develop existing skills, learn new skills and making friends at the same time."
