YOUTH ACADEMY

IN conjunction with the senior Open Day, Ballymena United Youth Academy will be involved on the day.

There will be an open training session involving a number of age groups, giving the chance for interested parties to come along and speak with both the boys and all the coaches who will be in attendance.

Ballymena Youth are especially keen to hear from children born in 1997 who will be playing at Under 14 level this year.

For parents and boys interested,speak to Chris Waring on the day or on 07989396780.

It is also proposed that Ballymena Youth will again have an Under 16 side this year again to compete in the National League once more. Another encouraging step forward for the revamped Showgrounds set up.

All coaches from Under 10 level up to Under 17 will be at the Showgrounds on Saturday, so come along and find out what it's all about.
