Hornet's defender Clarke Carlisle showed off his basketball skills as well as his football moves when he visited a local charity.

Clarke visited the Watford Kickz project on Tuesday.

Kickz is a nationwide scheme which enhances the development of young people through football and other activities.

Managed nationally by the Football Foundation, Kickz is a joint initiative between the Premier League and the Metropolitan Police.

Watford FC Community Trust is receiving funding for its professional coaches to deliver the free sessions for local young people in specifically identified as areas of need.

Rory Carroll from the Football Foundation said: "The Watford Kickz project is a great example of football strengthening a community and we are impressed with the work their coaches are doing. The local young clearly loved joining in with Clarke Carlisle and looking at his basketball skills he could easily moonlight in the NBA if he wanted to."

Rob Smith, football development manager at Watford FC Community Trust, said: "Clarke Carlisle is absolutely fantastic with regards to our community work and especially our social inclusion projects."
