World Champion Football Freestyler comes to Fife!
Freestyle champion, John Farnworth recently came to the Primary Schools where AMsoccerschools coach after school football sessions to give the children an amazing show of skills. John has been a freestyler for many years and showed the children that perfect practice makes perfect!
John practises his skills for 40 hours a week and it clearly showed when he demonstrated this to the children.
John will be involved with AMsoccerschools in the future so we look forward to welcoming him back again!

AMsoccerschools Sweden Tour 2008
Six AMsoccerschools Footballers were training in Sweden
for a week at the beginning of August 2008 as part of the
exchange network developed between our soccer school
and international soccer camps.
The 6 footballers Lyle Robertson, 5; Dino Leddie, 6;
Reece Redpath, 7; Jordan Redpath, 8; Gavin Milne, 9 and
Jonathan Cartwright, 10 attended the
Svenska Fotbolls Akademin at the Olympic Institute
in Boson, Stockholm.
They trained 4 times a day and received tuition from
some of the top coaches in Sweden, including
Bjorn Anderson (twice European Cup Winner) and
Patrick Anderson (Former Barcelona Player).
The elite facilities in the beautiful surroundings
allowed the youngsters and their parents to experience
Sweden's different approach to both the football style
and healthy living.
