YOUNG footballers in Dartford aged 12 and 13 are being given the opportunity to visit Arsenal’s training facilities and take part in the Arsenal Soccer Schools five-a-side tournament.

Acacia Hall Sports Centre in Dartford will host regional heats between August 2 and August 5 between 10 am and 3pm each day.

The winning teams will then be invited to travel to Hertfordshire in September to follow in the footsteps of world-class footballers and pit their wits against the competition at the site where the Arsenal players train throughout the season.

In addition to being in with the chance to play at Arsenal’s training ground, children participating in holiday Arsenal Soccer Schools receive a football, gift and certificate at the end of each course.
