Prince William's Hat Trick

And now for my next trick…

Prince William bumps fists with a new pal at the West Gate Community College Centre to see one of the Football Association’s Hat-Trick* projects on Thursday in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England.

The Prince joined local children in a classroom discussion about good sportsmanship before putting soccer gear and taking to the field.

*The FA Hat-Trick regeneration program is a three-year scheme that has seen the appointment of 19 community football workers around the country. Their role is to provide a range of football opportunities for young people aged 7-16 in communities that suffer from multiple deprivation; poor health, housing, education, and high incidences of crime and drug abuse.
