Today was the final day of the first week of summer coaching courses on the community pitch here at Tynecastle.

All the young players during the week received a tour of the stadium, pictures on the pitch and two tickets for the forthcoming friendly against Royal Antwerp on Sunday, July 17.

However, the main source of excitement today was the appearance of Rudi Skacel, who turned up to meet the kids and take part in the famed coaches' challenge.

Rudi spent most of his time in goals while the wee Jambos rained penalty kicks down on him for 15 mins. The midfielder pulled of a string of fantastic saves but we think he should stick to his day job and concentrate on scoring goals. Afterwards Skacel held back to sign autographs for the kids and parents.

Here is a collection of some of the best photos from the day:
