It’s not every day you get to meet professional footballers and take part in a training session delivered by the manager.
But that’s exactly what happened to 20 girls from St Michael’s Church of England High School in Crosby on Thursday as they were taken behind the scenes at Everton’s USM Finch Farm complex.
Everton Ladies take on Durham in the SSE Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday and the teenagers got to ask the Blue Girls players about how they made it as footballers.
Manager Andy Spence then took the pupils for a special coaching session, organised by SSE, before the girls had lunch with the players and watched them be put through their paces in training ahead of their the last-eight clash.
