Liverpool FC's Jamie Carragher Back In The Classroom

LIVERPOOL FC’s Jamie Carragher paid a visit to a primary school to promote positive family relationships.

The Bootle-born defender joined children from Hope Valley Primary, in Walton Breck Road, for a classroom session yesterday.

He is backing the Liverpool Football Club initiative, Tactics 4 Families, which aims to support families in Anfield and Breckfield.

It is hoped the five-week programme, which encourages a positive and practical approach to amily relationships, will be rolled out to schools across Merseyside.

Dad-of-two Jamie said: “I really enjoyed it, we had a good laugh. Families are a major part of life and everyone has their own private life away from school.

“I think Tactics 4 Families is a very good idea. I have two children of my own so I know how important this is.”

Mark Chester, LFC family officer, said: “Since February LFC has delivered a school programme working with Year 5 and 6 pupils to deliver the key seven messages from Tactics 4 Families.

“The sessions look at football teams and family teams to teach the children that families are made up of very different people who all play their own part in contributing to family life.”
