Beckham takes his soccer academy back to school

Bristol, March 20: He may being sidelined with a knee injury, but David Beckham was back on the pitch as he launched his new drive to improve youngsters' fitness and achievements.

The former England captain went back to school to launch a School Zone' website which aims to provide a free online coaching guide for teachers and pupils.

Beckham visited the Bristol's City Academy School and it was all big surprise for the kids who didn't know who their mystery guest is. In the classroom, Beckham helped kids to get to grips with the website.

Later in the day, he joined the kids at the football pitch, watching them practice and giving them a few advises.

The new site at www.thedavidbeckhamacademy.co.uk is an extension of Beckham's football academy, which so far has hosted free educational days for more than 12,000 children in the UK.
