SOCCER stars of the future picked up some useful skills and tips during a soccer fun week at Pendle Leisure Centre, Colne.

Staff organised a daily morning skills sessions as part of Pendle Council leisure service's summer holiday programme.

Coaches put primary school age youngsters through a variety of tests to improve their soccer skills. Today they enjoyed a trip to Burnley FC to get a behind-the-scenes look at the ground and see how the skills they have learnt are put into practice by the professionals.
