Luke Chambers Football Academy Arrives at Westbourne

 

As part of a joint initiative between the North West Ipswich Big Local Trust, Luke Chambers Academy and Westbourne’s new 3G facility, a group of Year 11 students have been given the opportunity to take part in a 12-week programme of football coaching run by Luke Chambers (ex-ITFC captain) and his team of professional coaches.

Whilst the weather hasn’t been great so far, this doesn’t seem to have dampened spirits or enthusiasm one bit. The players have all signed contracts of commitment and turn up regularly to be put through their paces on a Friday after school.

With the target of gaining an improvement in practical performance as well as personal development they are all on course to achieving that ‘goal’.

When asked to comment, the students said….

“I really enjoy the way the drill practise progresses into a match at the end” (Daniel)

” To have the chance of playing alongside an Ipswich legend is amazing” (Max)

“The quality of coaching is fantastic, and the new pitch is incredible to play on” (Rodrigo)
