Earlier this week, Wigan Athletic Community Trust welcomed 14 primary schools down to Stadium Way to take part in a Disney-inspired football festival.
A part of the Premier League Primary Stars programme. the session was in partnership with the FA, Wigan School Games and Barclays, and used the power of Disney and storytelling to get the students engaging in physical activity in a new and exciting way.
Community Trust staff ran workshops and activities involving the student’s favourite Disney characters, to get them active and practising their football skills. Before getting involved in some small-sided games at the end of the session.
For many of the girls, it gave them their first experience of football in a fun, safe and inclusive environment, where they could develop their football skills whilst combining the sport with their favourite Disney stories and characters.
