Around 10,000 new young supporters and their families visited the Riverside Stadium during 2010-11 and experienced the excitement, atmosphere and drama of a Boro home fixture.

Dozens of schools and community clubs have taken advantage of the initiative, with children from all over the Tees Valley and North Yorkshire enjoying the chance to take part in once-in-a-lifetime activities.

Each activity is designed to put the club's youngest fans right at the heart of the action and allows them to rub shoulders with their footballing heroes.

Groups who take part in this programme also benefit from heavily discounted match tickets for members, their families and their friends.

The scheme is now even bigger and better and club staff are inviting all local clubs and organisations to get involved in the following matchday activities...

Twenty places are available for juniors to walk out onto the Riverside pitch with the players of both teams. As the excitement reaches fever pitch and The Power Game music plays, the kids will walk out, hand-in-hand with a player. The youngsters will stand in front of the players for the introductions to the crowd and the fair play handshakes - an opportunity not to be missed.

Up to 30 children proudly form a guard of honour and welcome the players onto the pitch armed with Boro flags, banners and plenty of energy. A truly fantastic chance to be right at the heart of the action as the players takes to the field of play.

Fifteen Ballboy and Ballgirl opportunities are available at every Boro game this season. Do you want to be involved in the action? Do you want to play your full part in 90 wonderful minutes? Then get in touch - this opportunity is what most people dream about!

Eleven kids from a local group will compete against another in a penalty shootout in front of the North Stand, Boro's New Holgate End. This is surely the ultimate experience as nerves are tested in front of thousands of fans.

Every single member of the group will get the unique chance to parade around the Riverside pitch waving Middlesbrough Football Club supporter flags before the start of each game to welcome the crowds to the match. This is a fantastic way to raise awareness of an organisation and celebrate its successes.

Choose your music, your moves and your style! MFC will provide an A-list arena and an audience of thousands - then it's over to you to showcase your talent on the big stage. Whip the crowd into a frenzy as you dance like never before, just seconds before kick off.

A group of ten youngsters take part in a five-a-side game on the Riverside pitch up to an hour before kick off. This unique opportunity gives youngsters the chance to fulfil any football fan's dream - playing on the fantastic Riverside Stadium pitch like their Boro heroes.

Post-Match Penalties (ALL AGES)

Something for all ages - young and old. Up to 30 places are available for a group of people to get together and get competitive! Take a penalty on the hallowed Riverside Stadium turf just seconds after a game has finished.
