Alex Kaufman, managing director at Norwich City FC’s regional development programme, said: “I think the biggest benefit at the moment is for mental health.

“The kids have been without school, seeing friends and playing competitive sport, so I think that’s why we’ve had such a big uptake on all our courses across the board this summer.

“We want to engage with the community again, to provide that support for parents and to engage with children to help them fall in love with Norwich City as well!”

Entries for the free spaces must be submitted by Monday, August 10, when the winners will be revealed in a prize draw.
