Showing my soccer skills....

Ed Balls, Schools Secretary, and myself vistied a 'Brazilian Soccer School' on Roundhay Park. The soccer schools were founded by Simon Clifford, a former PE teacher, who through a chance meeting managed to involve the World Cup winning Brazilian Juninho in his after school training classes. Juninho introduced Clifford to Futebol de Salão, a smaller, heavier ball that is used in Brazil, along with a radically different approach to teaching football and the first Brazilian Soccer School actually took place on Roundhay Park. They have spread to become an international success stroy and millions of children enjoy the benefits of the schools expertise. As you can see myself.
