Breaking Barriers Academy Series Kicks Off with Interactive Event at Fulham FC’s Training Ground

PGMOL kicked off their Breaking Barriers Academy series with an interactive event at Fulham FC’s training ground this month. Players and coaches from Fulham’s U15 and U16 sides engaged in hands-on sessions led by match officials Farai Hallam and Isabel Chaplin, testing their decision making and offside calls while learning more about the Laws of the Game.

This marks the start of a new initiative, strengthening the organisations collaboration with professional club academies to highlight the vital role of match officials.

Delivered by Refresh Sports, the interactive series headed to Fulham, Liverpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bristol City, Middlesbrough and Leicester City last season and were supported by the community arms of all six professional clubs.
