Master Skills Football Academy History

My daughter Helen attended Denise Musgraves Tysack Dancing Academy in Bowman Street in 1997. When I used to collect her I noticed some brothers of the dancers, kicking a ball about outside. Mothers Judith Cambell and Bev Beadle said, "Why don't you start a football group for the lads Paul" I advertised a School Holiday Couse in the North Park and within two days we were fully booked. After this success I tried in vain to find indoor facilities to go full time. After a meeting with Jackson Sweeting Head Of Sport at Haughton School he said he had nothing available, "Oh except the little gym," and this was all that we needed to start up. Our first official session was on 15th September 1997.
