UK Coaching Week starting 29 April – resources and webinar

The investment has been awarded by the Premier League, the FA and the Government’s Football Foundation to East Bierley Community Sports Association (EBCSA) – a community-run, multi-sports association – and will allow the creation of a “transformational” 3G pitch which will bring sporting opportunities and inclusive community activities to thousands of children and young people in Kirklees and the Bradford district.

Secured after 14 years of campaigning by a team of parent volunteers, the money will enable the installation of an all-weather, long-pile synthetic grass pitch for multi-sport use. The new pitch is part of an ongoing plan to create a sporting community “hub” at East Bierley and will serve around ten existing local sports clubs while creating a new facility for marginalised groups, charities and young people with learning disabilities
