Brighton & Hove Albion Football in the Community in partnership with the City's Youth Offending Team and East Brighton New Deal for Communities have been running football coaching session Moulsecoomb and Whitehawk during the Easter holidays. In total 84 children from Moulsecoomb and 95 from Whitehawk have attended the coaching sessions.

The two-week programme culminated in a special tournament at Preston Park on Friday 12th April from 10am to 3pm. About 160 children were involved in the tournament including some with special needs. Approximately 60 parents attended the tournament as spectators.

Six young people were trained as assistant coaches and are going through the process of being qualified. Every participant received a prize and one player out of every team received a medal for showing a good attitude. Bob Brooker the assistant manager of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club attended the tournament to give out the prizes. This is the second year the coaching sessions have been held and the number of children involved has more than doubled. Read about this year's Community Football Tournament.
