Emiliano Marcondes recently spent a Sunday morning on the 3G pitches at Vitality Stadium with the Minikickers groups.
Visiting during pre-season, the midfielder spent an hour watching the young people during their weekly coaching sessions, before answering their questions about his career and what it's like to be a professional footballer.
To finish off his visit, he hosted penalty shootout competitions for the children in the girls development session and those in the final Minikickers session of the morning.
Lexi and Noah, who won the shootout, were presented with a 2023/24 Cherries home shirt.
Speaking after the season, Head of Community Steve Cuss told afcb.co.uk: “It was a great experience for the children at the Sunday morning sessions to meet Emiliano and they enjoyed answering questions and taking part in competitions.
“A big thank you to Emiliano for visiting the session.”
