Club Coach Wins FA Charter Standard Club Award
|
30th May 2006 |
After just one season of the club forming the Coach/Manager of the U12's squad was recognised for his hard work for encouraging people to play football within a safe learning and fun environment.
Glenn Stokes was given his award at the Sussex County Awards ceremony held in Lancing.
This was to be the first award that one of our club individuals has been awarded from the FA.
The Football Associations's message -
"So often the unsung heroes of grassroots football, anyone with a great coach at their club knows just what a difference they can make.
The kind of differences that go much further than just improving players skills, but also include creating an inclusive team atmosphere, allowing players to express their individuality and skills on the pitch and even getting the players to want to train and not just turn up for matches!
FA Learning and McDonald's recognise the important role of the coach and so as per previous years we are running the "FA Learning Grassroots Coach of the Year" in partnership with The FA's Community Partner - McDonald's"
