Hatters Youth Team Enjoy Pampering Day at Dunstable College



Luton Town FC youth team spent the day trying out the brand new facilities at Dunstable College’s Kingsland skills institute on Thursday

Dunstable College was pleased to welcome Chris Cummins, Director of Youth Development, and the youth team along to experience an afternoon of spa hospitality in the newly revamped Sports, Fitness and Holistic Therapy Department at the Kingsland Skills Institute, Houghton Regis.

The team were given sports massages, reflexology and aromatherapy massages by tutors and students who were pleased to have the opportunity to work on the future football stars. They also got the chance to try out the state of the art spa pool, sauna and steam room. Chris Cummins said of the day “The lads thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to go back again. They have been working very hard recently and it was nice for them to be able to relax and enjoy this. They had training again the next morning and found that the sports massages and all their pampering had really helped them feel great”. Chris also commented that “the staff were excellent and the day really was a credit to them”.

William Thomas, Sports Therapy Tutor at Dunstable College commented; “It's great to see the new facilities being used in a professional and functional capacity, with newly qualified therapists, tutors and support staff working side by side. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day, most of all the players, which was our primary objective! Let’s hope this is the beginning of a long relationship between Dunstable College and Luton Town Football Club.”
