Would your kid like to spend the school holidays learning soccer skills with Leicester City's summer football programme?

The club are running their summer soccer courses at 13 venues from July 14, and the Leicester Mercury have five places to give away.

Top players out of the 2,000 expected to attend could find themselves on the first rung of the football ladder because those youngsters who impress coaches will be recommended to LCFC Development Centres and the LCFC Girls Centre of Excellence.

Courses for 8 to 13-year olds include goalkeeping and soccer sessions and last up to five days. The club are also running mini kickers sessions for 5 to 7-year olds and girls-only courses.

Venues include Wigston Magna, Blaby, Ibstock, Melton Mowbray, South Wigston, Mountsorrel, Hinckley, Leicester, Uppingham, Whitwick, Barrow upon Soar, Loughborough, and Oadby.

The courses included every aspect of football such as heading, dribbling, passing, shooting, turning and team play. And, despite a busy pre-season training schedule, it is hoped that some of the Leicester City players will be able to come along and present certificates at some of the courses.

Five-day courses cost £20 for mini-kickers and £40 for eight to 13-year-olds but book by June 30 and receive a discounted rate. Application forms and further details of the courses are available fromCity's Football In The Community Department on 0116 291 5223.

To win one of five places just answer this question - Which one of these players came through the LCFC Academy? A) Tommy Wright (cough - Ed) B) Brian Deane C) Paul Dickov?
