After school study support is delivered from Monday - Thursday: Primary sessions are usually 3.30pm - 5.30pm and these are followed by secondary sessions 5.30pm - 7.30pm. A
single, extended session is offered on Tuesdays to enable schools that have to travel further. There is an introductory session which then leads into the 10 week course. During the course parents are invited to make clocks with the children. At the end of the course the children and their parents are invited to a Celebration evening, where they receive their certificate and goody bag in recognition of their achievements, from a club Director or AFC Player.
These popular events are held in the Crossbar lounge at the Holker Street stadium.
