After recently announcing the departure of a number of senior players, Western United are turning their attention to the other end of the age spectrum by launching its Lil’ Westies pre-school program.

Open to children from two and a half through to four years old, the pilot program offers four free classes running from May 15 to June 5.

The 45 minute sessions use fun and engaging activities to develop motor-skills through football.

Children from two and a half to three are in one session from 9.15am to 10.00am and those aged three to four are in the following session from 10.00am to 10.55am.

Sessions are conducted by trained Western United staff, but a parent or guardian is required to be present throughout.

All sessions are held at Arndell Park in Truganina.

Registrations close on May 15 and can found at www.eventbrite.com/e/lil-westies-pre-school-football-program-tickets-623424949807
