The club are delighted to announce that tomorrow evening, Friday 25th of April from 6:30pm till 7:30pm, at the Creamery Park Bathgate we will be launching a weekly Soccer School.

The School will be open to boys and girls of all ages and abilities. Kids will be split into their relevant age group and assigned a relevantly qualified coach for the evening. Each session will be designed to progress the footballing ability and fitness of the participants in a fun environment and will be run in line with the SFA player pathway ethos.

As a Community Club we have recognised that within Bathgate there is huge demand for teams at all age groups. Due to overwhelming demand since the formation of the Community Club we have been unable to accommodate every single request received for children to become involved with a team. With the introduction of the weekly Soccer School we aim to give these youngsters a home with the aim of getting enough players and parent volunteers to establish wherever possible a new team. The school will also be open to those youngsters who are already in a team but who wish to have some extra coaching.

The cost of these session will be £2 for every participant. Money raised from the Soccer School will be used to help with start-up costs of new teams within the Community Club.

If you have any questions or queries on the Soccer School please contact our coach co-ordinator David Gardiner on coaching@bathgatethistlecfc.com or at 07903297408.
