one cutty young 140 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Signed my son (9) up for a week at the Academy Experience at Murray Park, starts next Monday. He's in from 9am to 4pm, he is extremely excited about this - anyone else done this before? He gets to train twice a day, attend education sessions, have lunch with players and meet the management team. What a great experience for a wee bear - would have loved something like that as a boy. Brilliant from the club allowing this all for a decent price as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

one cutty young 140 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 I called up to book the Murray Park experience and the staff member told me about the Academy experience and the interaction with the players and management team sold it for me. My mate tried to book it for his lad next day and it was sold out.My wee man is counting down the days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrFunke 401 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Would love my wee stepson to do this but we live in northumberland so realistically couldnt do a week. Just one or two days Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutherford12 1 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Did a week at the ground across from Ibrox when I was younger too - incidentally played there a couple years later with the boys club against one of the gers youth teams, a few age groups below us. We got hammered, but got to use the home changng room, which was quality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
