Morecambe Football Club Academy has completed its latest soccer camp on the Isle of Man.

The Shrimps’ first visit to the island at Easter was a sell-out and the clubs says it was inundated with requests to come back.

Academy coaches taught youngsters aged six to 16 in Ramsey football skills, focussing on technical and tactical aspects of the game.

In addition, academy coaches provided elite sessions for talented players from local clubs.

Morecambe hope that for the best talent, they can offer the best players a scholarship with the club.

The club’s head of youth, Stewart Drummond, said: ’We’ve once again had a fantastic reception on the Isle of Man.

’We found the young Manx footballers full of enthusiasm and willing to learn. We hope that our coaches have enabled participants to improve all aspects of their game.

’We’ve been impressed with the standard of football at the camp and have identified a number of talented players we wish to invite over to Morecambe in the near future.

’The support we’ve had from our friends on the Isle of Man has once again been fantastic.’

The Steam Packet supported the camp by covering the cost of travel for Morecambe staff.

Steam Packet chief executive Mark Woodward added: ’The soccer camp was a great experience and we are glad so many local young footballers had the chance to benefit from qualified coaching.

’The feedback from the youngsters was extremely positive and we hope to see the team from on the island again soon.’
