Sports and Leisure Coordinator for Haven Holidays, Marcus van der Gaag said, “We’re always on the look out for new sports and activities for our holiday guests – especially notoriously hard-to-please teenagers.”
“As part of this scheme we’ll be demonstrating and teaching street football skills to help youngsters reach their full potential in the sport. We’ve seen a lot of excellent young players in our Football coaching sessions on the parks and this is a great opportunity for some of them to really prove themselves with Wayne Rooney.”
Participation in the competition is open to all holidaymakers and holiday home owners on the participating parks, which are Craig Tara (Scotland); Haggerston Castle (near Berwick-upon-Tweed); Devon Cliffs on Devon’s south coast; Primrose Valley in Yorkshire; Thorpe Park (near Cleethorpes); Hopton Holiday Village in Norfolk; Rockley Park overlooking Poole Harbour; Presthaven Sands near Prestatyn; The Orchards near Clacton-on-Sea and Combe Haven, near Hastings.
And whilst teenagers are practising their street football skills, Mums, Dads and the rest of the family can take part in a whole range of other activities from swimming and water fun, kids’ clubs, games and competitions, fencing, archery and bike hire to golf, tennis, horse-riding and fishing (facilities vary from Park to Park so check the website for details). In the evenings all the family can enjoy top quality entertainment with family shows, music, dancing and cabaret.
