Darlington footballers were treated to a sports massage when they visited Bishop Auckland for a training session.
The team, which included Curtis Fleming and Craig Hignett, visited Bishop Auckland College's world travel fair, organised by travel and tourism, leisure and sport students last week.
As well as taking part in a training session, the footballers allowed students to test their massaging skills on them.
Schools from the Bishop Auckland area also went along to the event which offered a host of fitness activities including a 10metre-high climbing wall.
Barry Dawson, who works for both Darlington Football Club as a physiotherapist and at Bishop Auckland College as a sports science lecturer said: "This was an excellent way for students to learn practical hands-on skills with professional sport athletes.''
