Every participant will also receive a free pair of football boots and a Redditch United tracksuit as part of their involvement in the programme.
Delivered in partnership with Birmingham FA, DWP and YMCA, the initiative aims to inspire and equip local young people with the skills, confidence, and qualifications needed to kickstart a career in sport or related industries.
“This programme is about more than just football,” said Lee Atkins, Community Manager. “We’re offering young people the chance to gain life-changing skills, make new connections, and open doors to future employment—all while being part of the Redditch United community.”
Spaces on the course are fully funded and limited, so early registration is encouraged.
