CHILDREN at all five primary schools in the Seven Sisters area are to get the benefit of top class football training.

Up to £30,000 has been allocated to the Premiership Football Coaching Programme from the New Deal for Communities package.

Both boys and girls will receive weekly teaching from top calss Tottenham Hotspurs coaches.

Cllr Richard Reynolds who was present at the launch of the initiative last week said: "Schemes like this contribute to children's well being by building their self confidence and giving then all benefits of physical exercise and team work. Who knows we may have the next generation's star player here in Seven Sisters.
