U11 MANAGERAARON

Hi, I’m Aaron, and I’m a coach for the U11s. I began coaching when asked to help out, as my son has ASD and football quickly became a passion we could share. I’m all about creating a fun and supportive environment where every player, no matter their ability, can enjoy the game and be part of a team. For me, it’s all about making sure our players feel included, confident, and excited to play. I’m proud to be part of this football club and community and look forward to seeing our players grow, both on and off the pitch

U13 MANAGERRICHARD

I got involved at the early stages when the club was first set up. My son tried to play in a mainstream team and he was not being included. It makes me proud to be involved with the club where all children are included and have the opportunity to believe in themselves.
