SUCCESSFUL
SAM
Sam, a student at
Churston Ferrers Grammar School has recently passed his Level
1 Football Coaching course at Devon F.A. Headquarters in Newton
Abbot on 23rd October, 2011. 16 year old Sam is the youngest
in Devon to qualify and one of the youngest, if not the youngest,
in the country. |
|
Sam started coaching
the under 8s and under 9s at Walden Athletic Football Club,
Torquay on Saturday mornings as he has always wanted to be
a football coach, therefore, keen to have the qualification
to support this.
Sam undertook the
two week course which included Child protection, football
sessions, first aid and theory tests. Sam had to be committed
to the evening sessions and Sundays.
|
Sam has played for Walden youth
for the last three years, during which they won the league
and were finalists in the County Cup. Now that Sam is 16,
he trains with the senior team at Walden Athletic on Thursdays
and is hoping to play for them very soon.
Sam says that passing
this course has given him the confidence and knowledge to
coach at Walden and would like to thank them for their support
and encouragement.
