Liverpool great Jamie Carragher has invited students from a Manchester Muslim grammar school to his sports academy in Brunswick.

Kassim Darwish Grammar is an independent Islamic day school that teaches students aged between 11 and 16 who has linked up with Carragher's academy.

Jamie Carragher's Sports Academy in Brunswick specialises in sports management, coach education and coaching courses and has delivered sessions for the school for the past two years.

"It's nice to see local and other community based children come to our Academy and experience some coaching," Carragher said.

"It's important that they feel welcome here and go away with a smile on their face after a great experience.

"Having seen the children and speaking to the coaching staff, they all seemed to enjoy the sessions both in and out of school, I see this as a massive success on both parties."
