IF YOUR youngster is a budding James Tomkins, Mark Noble or Freddie Sears, then West Ham are giving you the chance for them to show what they can do at a special series of half-term coaching courses.

Bookings are now being taken for the courses, which will be held at nine different areas for players between five and 15.

The courses will be delivered by FA qualified coaches and will include technical skills sessions, fun games and competitions in the mornings, as well as small-sided games and match play in the afternoons.

In addition, all those taking part will receive a free West Ham United mini-skills ball and the chance to win four tickets for West Ham's clash with Bolton on March 6.

Courses take place in Basildon, Beckton, Chelmsford, Chigwell, Dagenham, Hornchurch, Thurrock, Romford/Gidea Park and Upminster, with Beckton and Hornchurch also offering girls-only courses.

Children have the option of attending between one to three days of coaching. Three-day courses are �35 per child, two days cost �25 and one day courses are �12.50.

The courses take place between February 15 and February 19. For more details call the club on 0207 4737720 or email them at:
