FOOTBALL FAMILY FUN DAY: A chance to join in the festival fun
The Family Footballing Fun Day, which is supported by Hunts FA and Northants FA, is on Saturday July 15 at Bushfield Leisure Centre (courtesy of Vivacity) and there is something for everyone.
A whole range of activities for individuals, able-bodied and disabled, will be running non-stop throughout the day and they include penalty shoot-outs, skills tests, speed tests, goalkeeper coaching, how hard you can kick a ball, a Peterborough FA trophy exhibition, seminars on how to raise funds for your club and an insight into physiotherapy.

The fun day also has competitive tournaments for all (boys and girls) culminating in the Peterborough FA 7-a-side Cup competition for adults starting at 5.30pm. The starting times for the various age groups are listed below and anyone interested in entering a team (or teams) should contact Robert Windle on 07970228790 or [email protected]
Team entry fees range from £7 to £15 while for just £1.25 an ‘all activities wrist-band’ will allow wearers to have a go at everything.
The fun day is the first of 12 events organised by the hard-working 125 Committee. Others to come include special commemorative matches, a museum exhibition and a gala dinner.
