Goalkeeper Gilks and captain McArdle visited the first year scholars as they continue working towards their NCFE Level Three Extended Diploma in Sport & Physical Activity (Sports Coaching) with Futsal.
It comes just weeks after manager Graham Alexander visited a training session at Bottesford Sports Hall.
Over the course of the two-years, the scholars study for a diploma, which is worth up to three A-Levels, while also representing the club in the EFL Trust Futsal League, along with other cup competitions throughout the course of the season.
The SUFC Trust offer a number of courses and opportunities to learn with Scunthorpe United CSET including a "Foundation Degree in Community Football Coaching and Development" and "BSc Football Coaching, Development and Administration".
