DJhinckley Posted 21 May 2007 Share Posted 21 May 2007 Hinckley United have made a double signing to boost their community football programme. Leicester City legends Matt Elliot and Gerry Taggart have linked up with Hinckley United to run a football school over the summer months. Former Foxes skipper Elliott who also played for Charlton Athletic, Ipswich Town, Torquay United, Scunthorpe and Oxford United while also representing Scotland will be doing hands on coaching throughout theweek along with ex-Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers and Northern Ireland hard man Taggart. The duo will be assisted by a team of FA qualified coaches. The course run in association with Soccer Dreams ( http://www.soccerdreams.co.uk/ ) at the Marston’s Stadium complex will run for two weeks from Monday July 16th to Friday July 20th and from Monday August 20th to Friday August 24th. The camp is open to both boys and girls from the ages of 6 to 16 with every participant getting a certificate and medal after a week of top class coaching, skill sessions, matches and competitions. Trophies will be handed out for fair play and merit throughout the week. The cost is just £60 for the week or £12 a day – with a specially discounted rate available to Hinckley United Juniors of £10 a day. Hinckley United’s Commercial Manager Dave Riche said: “We’re delighted to have signed up Matt and Gerry to run the Soccer Schools this summer which we hope are the first of many ventures together. The pair of them are keen to get into coaching and we believe it is a major coup for the club and the area. We want this to be the biggest Soccer Camp in the region and the pair of them are keen to stress that they will be doing the coaching and getting involved hands on. Hinckley United in association with Soccer Dreams are keen for this to be a major community initiative and with the facilities we have here, we hope the first of many major new-look junior coaching projects.†For details of the course and to book your place please e-mail [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And for those too old to take part in the Soccer School, Elliott and Taggart will be hosting a Leicester Legends Night at the Marston’s Stadium on Friday June 29th.
