We have limited places on each workshop so we would advise booking your place ASAP to avoid disappointment.

Please note that the dress code for the workshops is sportswear, i.e. a tracksuit, but you should bring a change of training kit for the outdoor sessions.

The outdoor sessions will take place on grass, and therefore you should bring football boots as per a normal match day.

Please ensure that you bring your own flags and a whistle. (We will have a limited supply for those who do not have an AR flag)

Given that the weather is likely to be warm, please ensure that you bring a water bottle, or some form of drink, in order to stay hydrated and alert throughout the evening.
