OXFORD United have come up with the ideal way to do your Christmas shopping in peace - drop the kids off at one of the club's soccer courses.
Dubbed 'Drop and Shop', United believe it is the perfect way to ensure both children and parents enjoy a good build-up to the festive period.
And the kids will have an unexpected bonus, with former United star Jamie Brooks one of the coaches.
Brooks, who now plays at Didcot Town, will be passing on his advice at Oxford Community School.
Other courses take place at West Kidlington Primary School and St Nicolas Primary School, Abingdon.
Some members of Oxford United's first-team squad will also be in attendance.
They take place from December 18-21, running from 10-2.30 and cost £40 for the four days.
They are open to anyone aged between 6-13, of any ability.
Contact United's football in community officer Peter Rhoades-Brown, or his assistant, Naomi Loveless on 01865 337525.
