Walsall Football Club is giving fans the chance to live their dream with the launch of Virtual Soccer Academy, a new CD-ROM game that takes players through an eight-week football academy training programme. The game, developed by Peter Fulford, allows children of all abilities to train alongside their football stars and improve their skills. Walsall's First Team manager, Paul Merson, has praised the game, saying it's excellent for keen youngsters. The game is available for £24.99 from Walsall's club shop, online at http://www.saddlers.co.uk, and from selected Asda stores throughout the UK. Virtual Soccer Academy is suitable for children aged six or over. The game's producers say the interest shown by top clubs is overwhelming. Mick Halsall, Youth Team coach at Walsall FC, is excited to see the talent the game can uncover. The game includes footage that blew Paul Merson away, and it gives every child the chance to meet the players, learn the skills, and live the dream. Walsall fans can purchase the game and get a free trial at the club. The game is a must-have for any young supporter who loves football and wants to pursue a healthy hobby. Peter Fulford, the game developer, says the product is for any young supporter who loves football and has the desire to take hints from the pros. The game is part pro-football experience, part coaching video, and it encourages children to improve their football skills and increase their fitness.
