TRANMERE Rovers are joining forces to stage free football coaching sessions for school children with a Giants Spectacular twist.

Along with Liverpool and Everton Football Club's - Rovers are inviting schools from across the region to take part in the great footballing event to mark the return of the Giants to Merseyside.

Schools from across the region have been sent an application form via email.

They will then be allocated a free one hour coached session which includes mini games and penalty shoot outs.

As the Royal de Luxe returns with its last ever Giants event, football fever will take over Princes Park on Thursday, October 4 where the three football clubs will be providing their free sessions all day.

Tranmere Rovers chairman, Mark Palios said: “We are thrilled as a football club to be involved in such a unique and popular event that has always proven to capture the imagination of the audience.

“We have a very strong relationship with Liverpool City Region and they have done an excellent job ensuring the event is taking place.

"We are excited that the Giants scheduled are not only to be showcased in Liverpool, but also Wirral for the first time!

“Our involvement mainly comes on the first day with the Giants football event in which our qualified coaches will be providing free training sessions to more than 500 children - grassroots football is vital and a major part of what Tranmere represents in the way we offer accessible football for all.

“The Giants football event ties in nicely with our ongoing commitment through our popular #SWA2 programme that provides children with first hand access to Tranmere Rovers.

“Our Club is proudly rooted in the local community and we are delighted to be playing our part in the football themed Giants event.”

A total of 576 places have been offered to 72 schools across the region.

There are a limited amount of times so schools will be chosen on a first come, first served basis.
