Hibernian - East Lothian Schools Football Festival

Hibernian Football Club opened its new training centre in East Lothian at the end of 2007.  Whilst this facility is primarily a base for the club's professional players, they were keen to provide an opportunity for members of the public to access this state of the art resource.

During the summer the club staged a two day football festival for Primary 6 and 7 pupils in the East Lothian area. This event provided  an opportunity for teams of boys and girls to take part in a fun-filled day of 7 a side football. One of Hibernian Football Club's Academy coaches also provided short coaching sessions for the pupils when they were not taking part in games.  The winning teams were presented with a trophy.

Our funding  helped make this day a success, providing every pupil who participated with a goody bag including a Hibernian Football Club strip.
