Crystal Palace midfielder Leigh Nicol will be in attendance at the upcoming session on Monday, August 29, to offer her expert advice to the stars of tomorrow.

Nicol's career started out with Reading and has since taken her to London Bees, Millwall and Charlton before making the switch across London in 2020.

Coaches Simon Allen, Alex Myers and Sammy Burgess are hoping to see as many new faces in attendance as possible.
