A prime NFL American football team is heading to Edinburgh this month, to host a variety of coaching classes to primary school age children.
Edinburgh will play host to the Chicago Bears in June, as they bring their Mini Monsters Clinics to the capital, and across the UK for the second time.
Children from multiple schools in Edinburgh will have the opportunity to take part in the community initiative and pick up an American football for the first time at Juniper Green Primary School in the capital.

Mini Monsters Clinics provide free youth coaching for boys and girls between the ages of seven through to 12 years-old.
The 90-minute programme stresses the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and proper hydration through fun, non-contact American football drills.
Participation is for children and young people regardless of experience with American football or level of physical capability.
The Chicago Bears are one of the most successful professional NFL teams and were Super Bowl champions back in 1986.
