Southend United’s Jason Demetriou took time out to visit children at Southend United Community & Educational Trust’s Soccer Schools at Garon Park this February half term.
In front of over 50 children, the Cypriot international answered a variety of questions on the best players he’s played against, his career highlights and what age he began playing football.
The children then got a photo with Demetriou on the Garon Park Astroturf.
Aiming to inspire future generations and create memories of a lifetime, Soccer Schools are delivered by qualified Community Coaches who run tailored, innovative and dynamic sessions where participants are able to fulfil their potential.
Demetriou commented:
“The setup here at Garon Park is fantastic and it was a brilliant turnout today.
“It was a great 15-20 minutes with the kids and I think they enjoyed it.
“This [Soccer Schools] is where the kids learn and it builds into the club’s future attracting younger fans.”
