Partners in Football is a new scheme launched by York City Football Club to help schools form sporting links with schools in other towns and cities and with their professional clubs.

Each school in the York area has the chance to form a sporting partnership with another school in another town.

Every season teams from your school will have the chance to visit your partner school, play a game in the morning and have free tickets to a Football League game in the afternoon.

Later in the season your partner school will visit you on the same basis.

But to join this scheme your school must register.

For more information and spare registration forms contact must be made with either Mr Paul Coxon, Oaklands School, Cornlands Road, York Y024 3ED, (tel 0190 782727; mobile 07976 880674), or Sophie McGill, York City Football Club, Bootham Crescent, York Y030 7AQ (tel 01904 624447 ext 3).
