Football Aid’s Master Class gives fans an exclusive insight into the day in the life of a professional footballer. Gaining access to and using the Club’s Training facilities, you are put through the drills, thrills and spills experienced by the pros during training sessions.
To date we’ve hosted 4 x Master Class events at 3 different clubs, starting in ‘05 at Newcastle Utd, continuing in ’06 & ’07 at Wigan Athletic and most recently in October ’08 at Manchester United’s Carrington Training complex.
Although the individual events have all been of a slightly different format they will normally involve the club appointed staff and coaches giving a motivational session, time set aside for a nutritional lunch, a visit to the changing rooms to pull on personalised training kits, a tough but fulfilling training session with skills, drills and stamina work, before finally a chance to test your newly found or sharply honed skills in a tournament in the afternoon.
