AS part of a major new nationwide skills initiative targeting grass roots football across the country, the Wagon Wheels Football in the Community Scheme has launched a unique giant inflatable Target Ring for children to practise their shooting skills.

Supported by 90 professional football clubs in England and by The Football Association, Football League, Premier League and Professional Footballers' Association, the ring can be hung from goal posts and is set to become the next football craze with kids practising for hours for that dream strike.

Football In the Community works closely with schools, providing soccer coaching courses and educational activities for boys and girls of all abilities, from 6-16 years old.
