SKFC On Tour
Following on from our U12 and 13 teams visit to Manchester United earlier this month the coming weeks sees a number of SKFC teams taking part in tournaments and friendly games in Spain, England and Northern Ireland.
Our U13 Premier team head to Majorca to take part in the prestigious East Mallorca Cup with teams from Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Denmark, United States, Germany, Japan, Australia and England including Manchester City and top Spanish sides – Espanyol, Barcelona, RCD Mallorca, Atletico Bilbao among others.
Our 13 Sun 1 head to Salou to take part in the Cost Daurada Cup from April 2nd – April 6th
John Behan is taking his Saturday U14 Premier team to Blackpool to play in a tournament involving Blackpool, Fleetwood Town and Welsh team TSN.
We return again to Oakham in Leicestershire with our U10’s & U11’s from April 9th – April 12th where their opposition will include Manchester United, Newcastle United, Leicester City, Stoke City, Watford, Nottingham Forest, Norwich City, Sunderland AFC, Shrewsbury Town and Kyoto FA (Japan) among others.
Our Sunday 12.1 will be making a flying visit to Blackburn where they will play Blackburn Rovers and Burnley.
All of these trips greatly benefit players and coaches as they get to play quality opposition in top class facilities, experience different cultures and styles which is all part of the learning process.
