David Beckham went back to school today to launch his own drive to improve pupils' health, fitness and achievements. The former England captain has launched a 'School Zone' website at www.thedavidbeckhamacademy.co.uk to provide a free online coaching guide for teachers and pupils.The launch of the website is an extension of Beckham's football academy which has so far hosted free educational days for more than 12,000 children in the UK.
Beckham, visiting Bristol's City Academy School, said: "I have seen first-hand how boys and girls respond to the coaches at the academy. I am extremely proud of the work we have achieved to date with schools and community groups who visit the academy for free and I am pleased that now every school will get the chance to sample what we provide."
