KIRKLEES Active Leisure is running football courses for children this Easter.
The organisation - which runs leisure services for Kirklees Council - wants to help kids burn off the calories from all the chocolate eggs they will consume over Easter.
The football coaching courses will be held at Holmfirth High School and Batley Sports and Tennis Centre by Kirklees football development officer Damian Ives.
He said: "This is a great opportunity for boys and girls interested in developing their football skills to play in a fun, friendly environment."
The courses are split into three types - nursery for children aged five to six; disabilities for children with learning difficulties, and mini-soccer for seven to 10-year-olds.
The nursery course at Holmfirth will be on April 11 from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
The disabilities course will be from 10.30am to 12.30pm on April 11 and the mini-soccer course will be on April 12 and 13 from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
At Batley, the nursery course will be on April 19 from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
The disabilities course will be on the same day, from 10.30am to 12.30pm.
The mini-soccer course will be on April 20 and 21 from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
Children taking part in all courses need to arrive wearing a full playing kit and trainers.
They should also bring a packed lunch and a change of clothes in case of bad weather.
