Introducing Rivers FC: New Junior Football Sessions at Evesham Leisure Centre

We’re excited to launch Rivers FC, our new junior football programme at Evesham Leisure Centre. The programme starts with a Christmas Taster Session before moving into weekly New Year sessions for two age groups.

Rivers FC is designed to give young players a safe, friendly environment to learn football, build confidence and enjoy being active. Our sessions are led by two enthusiastic and approachable coaches who already work within the centre and local football community.

To celebrate the launch of Rivers FC, we’re offering a festive one off taster session packed with football fun, teamwork activities and simple beginner drills.
