Holiday Programme a Roaring Success

 by Marc Roseblade

The roars of delight could be heard all over Ayr as the young players who got themselves involved with Ayr United Football Academy annual October Holiday Programme kicked off in earnest during the school holidays and it wasn't just the parents delight that could be heard!

For three days all the kids really enjoyed the different drills and fun games they received from the AUFA community coaches at Pro Soccer complex in Ayr.

Craig Richmond, Football Development Administrator for AUFC and AUFA said, "There were a lot of talented youths showing off their skills during the three days."

"We also had the girls side from the academy here who were involved and they looked to have had a great time working with myself with them working on different drills and lots of game related practices as it was part of their training camp as well as a holiday camp."

Kids from the age of 3 were involved over the three day camp and looks to be more popular than ever as the Academy goes from strength to strength.

The Academy also has its Term Time Programme which runs from October to December taking place, spaces are still available, see the Community page for information.
