Easter Programme
East Dunbartonshire Leisure & Cultural Trust (EDLC) Football Development had over 200 children participate in their Easter holiday programme over a period of 2 weeks.
Sessions ranged from all day camps to Girls Only Centres at the three main sports centres; the Allander in Milngavie, the Leisuredrome in Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch.
Players were able to participate in a mixture of skills challenges, fun games, and lots of opportunities to play games, as well as have a go on Scottish FA inflatables.
Kevin Murphy, Football Development Officer for the area said: “It is great to see such a fantastic turnout, and I am especially delighted to see so many new faces here getting involved in our programme.
"It’s pleasing that the weather has held off and as a result so much activity has taken place”.
