Sport in Brief
YOUTH FOOTBALL: Arsenal Football Club will be holding a soccer school at Martin Junior School, Plane Tree Walk, East Finchley, on Tuesday May 27 until Friday May 30 (10am to 3pm daily).
Budding footballers have the opportunity to make new friends and improve their soccer skills.
The school is for boys and girls aged seven to 12.

* Ministry of Football, an innovative new football programme, is now operating in the Barnet area.
The scheme uses high-quality coaching in skill activities, and small-sided games to promote creativity and self-expression. Dance music is often played during games to help build a positive, fun, high-tempo atmosphere.
Ministry of Football is different from other programmes. It is not just another football session where coaches tell children what to do. But it is also not just fun and games. Players at Ministry of Football sessions follow a set syllabus, designed to help children become innovative, confident problem solvers. Whereas most elite football coaching programmes in London use people to develop football, Ministry of Football uses football to develop people.
Ministry of Football runs one-hour sessions at weekends or after school, usually catering for a maximum of 24 children aged between five and 14. All abilities are welcome and a free taster session is available.
The idea is for children to learn through play.

BADMINTON: The 2007/8 season was the best for Hertfordshire badminton since the formation of the National Premier divisions more than 15 years ago.
