THE development of young footballers in and around Hatherleigh is going from strength to strength thanks to the Active Villages programme.

Active Villages and OCRA (Okehampton Community Recreation Association) have been able to support the development of football for young people in and around Hatherleigh through funding equipment and supporting adults to get trained and qualified on training courses.

If other sports clubs are interested in the possibility of bursaries to support coaches and volunteers in gaining coaching qualifications, or to see if we can get courses put on locally, contact OCRA and Stuart Lord on 01837 54546 or by email on [email protected]">[email protected]
