FOOTBALL-mad community support officers are hoping World Cup fever will inspire more youngsters to get on the ball.
Sarah Meadowcroft and Rebecca Harris have set up free training sessions with area youth worker Lesley Jackson to give youngsters something to do instead of gathering on the streets.
"If you enjoy football, come down for a kick-about or use the time to gain a soccer skills certificate," CSO Meadowcroft said.
Anyone aged between eight and 19 are invited along to 'Friday Night Football' at Brookvale Recreation Centre every week from 6pm-8pm.
