New kids TV channel, Disney XD, and England Beach Soccer - the official governing body of the sport, have teamed-up to host a series of awareness-raising events this August.

Disney XD will take its beach soccer roadshow to urban locations throughout the UK, culminating in an event at London's Parklife venue on August Bank Holiday, which will see part of the 4,000sqm blank canvas space transformed into a beach soccer pitch.

As well as competitive matches for kids aged 8-14, each event will include skills and drills lessons, coaching sessions with members of the England national beach soccer squad and exclusive screenings of upcoming Disney XD shows, as well as music and demonstrations.  
 
In addition to the roadshow, Disney XD will build two new beaches in London and Stockport, the latter of which will be left for the local community to enjoy for the entire summer.

"With sport being an integral part of the Disney XD offering, we feel the beach soccer roadshow is a wonderful way to introduce kids to our new brand as well as bringing them closer to an incredibly exciting form of the nation's favourite sport," said Disney Channels UK & Ireland general manager, Boel Ferguson.
