AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust have been working in partnership with two foreign language student companies namely Europartner and Cavendish School of English.

Over 350 German teenagers aged 12-17 will be visiting Bournemouth over the summer and will be receiving football coaching from the clubs community coaches.

The students visit England for 2 weeks staying with host families in and around the Bournemouth area, a timetable is organised where students attend English lessons, receive football coaching on a daily basis and have free time to enjoy the area and attractions.

Steve Cuss, Head of Community Sports Trust explained "Bournemouth is a thriving area for foreign language students to visit, the two companies who we have teamed up with organise the students which leaves the coaches to arrange the training."

Steve added "The highlight of the week is the game we arrange against a local youth team billed as England V Germany, which is great fun for all concerned".

As part of the week the students also visit Bournemouth stadium where they are given a behind the scenes tour and if fixtures allow they will also attend a home game.
