The holiday clinic kicked off on Thursday morning under the direction of Head Coach for the UK based Fleetwood Town FC International Australia Hub, James Boyle.

Forbes and District Soccer Club coach Doug Mckenzie said the holiday clinic aimed to give local players a chance to learn from a professional coach.

This followed on from the locally run holiday clinic on Thursday, April 8 which also hosted 100 players. The players at both holiday clinics ranged from four to 14.

With the end of the school holidays, the Forbes and District Soccer Club are looking forward to the start of the 2021 winter season which is set to begin this Saturday, April 24.

Mr Mckenzie said they have great numbers with 380 players in 44 teams registered in a range of age groups from Under 4's to Under 17's.

The next big event on the soccer club's calendar is their annual soccer gala day which will take place on Sunday June 20.

Mr Mckenzie said that as of Monday April 20, they had just over 70 teams from around the region registered to play in the gala day.

Before the gala day, Mr Mckenzie said James Boyle and a team of coaches will be running two training sessions on Saturday June 19.

The first training session will be a come and try clinic, with the second session being an Advanced Talent Identification Session.
