KEIGHLEY children can hone their football skills thanks to the return of the Striker 9 soccer courses.

A 10-week series of the popular sessions, run by Bradford Council, are running on Tuesdays at Marley Sports Centre and Thursdays at Keighley campus Centre.

Both days run from 4pm to 5pm for five to seven-year-olds, and from 5pm to 6pm for eight to 15-year-olds.

The courses cost £36 per child, including a £5 enrolment fee. The cost is £27 for Passport to Leisure holders.

The sessions aim to teach leadership and team skills, and keep children healthier and more active during the colder months. Further information is available from the sports centres.
