ATHLETIC are running a series of football and sports courses to help keep youngsters fit and healthy this summer.

The sessions are open to boys and girls of all abilities aged between six and 13.

Courses will be held throughout August at venues across Oldham, Royton, Uppermill, Failsworth and Chadderton.

Football League director of external affairs, Gavin Megaw said: “It is great to see Oldham Athletic continuing their commitment to the local community during the close-season.

“Soccer Schools are a fantastic way to keep children healthy and entertained during the summer break and it is important that League clubs work actively in this area.”
