The third and final Wootton Bassett Town FC soccer fun week saw the club pass the 200-mark for youngsters coached during the summer holidays.

Throughout the week at Rylands Way, the children take part in the Soccer Star Challenge an FA development programme.

They are coached in various techniques such as running with the ball, heading, shooting, speed, dribbling and turns.

Marks are awarded for tests in each subject and at the end of the week certificates ranging from two to five stars are given to the top performers with a select few receiving a special six star award for scores of 57 or more out of 60.

Several youngsters were awarded six stars during the trio of courses.

Organiser Chris Kirkland said: "As well as the specific coaching for the Soccer Star Challenge scheme, we also involve the children in small-sided games, competitions, skill tests, penalty shoot-outs and a tournament on the last day with all the participants receiving a medal.

"The emphasis is on fun and we have been encouraged by the high standard shown by the children."
