Coach's corner with Reading FC

This week will offer a mixture of emotions for football fans up and down the country as the long season draws to a close – and no European Championships for England fans to look forward to this summer.

Man United and Chelsea are battling it out for the title, and closer to home three points is vital for the Royals against Derby on Sunday afternoon to see if our Premiership status can be retained.

As for the local schools, our visits are in full flow and this week we will spend time at many different schools across the Maidenhead and Windsor area.

On Friday we visited Furze Platt junior school in Maidenhead for an educational fun morning with the year fours.

The morning was fun based and we tried to use football as a vehicle to promote the importance of healthy eating and literacy in everyday life including.

If your school is interested in getting involved with our Community Trust and receiving visits like Furze Platt’s, feel free to contact us at community@readingfc.co.uk or on 0118 968 1415.

Don’t forget with the May half term rapidly approaching, look out for the leaflets and posters in your schools for further details about our soccer schools being run in a location near you.
