A girls-only footballing fun day is being laid on for free at Crystal Palace Football Club next week.

On Friday, October 26, eight to 12-year-olds will be given the chance to see their Palace idols train.

Players will also be available to pose for photos with fans and give autographs.

FA qualified coaches will offer tips and organisers will also be picking out budding star players based on their performance in a special training session and recommending them for trials with Crystal Palace Ladies FC.

Other treats include discounted tickets for a Palace home game.

To take part in the event to be held in Crystal Palace Training Ground, Worsley Road, Beckenham between 10am-3.30pm, contact Clarry Birch at the Football in the Community Department on 020 8768 6063.
