Hosted by former Bafana Bafana player and Metro Stars legend Stanton Fredericks, along with Thabo Mngomeni (former Bafana Bafana captain), Nasief Morris (former Bafana Bafana/Santos defender) and Ryan Harrison (former Bidvest Wits/Swansea City goalkeeper), the coaching sessions saw youngsters aged 10 to 12 learn some new tricks, and also included a talent assessment of the kids, and group sessions where they could play with their local heroes on the same team, while also showing off their skills.
What's more, these youngsters will also get the chance to meet Liga BBVA ambassadors Gaizka Mendieta and Patrick Kluivert, with additional coaching sessions planned on the morning of the LaLiga Free Fan Day.
