The Club’s Charity, City in the Community are sharing the work of their City Play programme.
City Play is a bespoke Early Years programme that provides physical activity sessions for children aged between two and five years of age in more than 65 nurseries and schools across Greater Manchester.
Each themed session is delivered in a fun, engaging and inclusive environment and are created to support a child’s physical development and progressive Fundamental movement skill development, through a 38-week programme delivery.
The programme aims to use the power of football and the Manchester City brand to encourage children in Manchester to live a healthy and active lifestyle from a young age.
One teacher from Wharton Primary School said: “The programme is very organised, and sessions are delivered to an extremely high standard.
“The sessions teach skills and independence. They teach teamwork and respect for others.”
