#CityOnTour: Nashville young leaders

Manchester City continued its community outreach on its US tour by delivering it’s second Young Leader Training, this time in Nashville.

Showing its commitment to grassroots soccer in the UK, the training took place at the Vanderbilt University in collaboration with Sports Fund. 16 young leaders were put through their paces as they went on a training programme, delivered by coaches from City in the Community, to develop and enhance their leadership and community coaching skills.

On Friday, John Stones, Eliaquim Mangala and Oleksandr Zinchenko turned up on the final day to meet the leaders and show their support as they delivered an exciting youth-led soccer festival to community children.

Check out these brilliant photos!
