Coaching Success for our Youths

Congratulations to Katie White, Olivia Docherty, Eve Stewart (U17s) and Oliwia Gach (Ladies) who all completed Level 1.1 Early Touches through a school project, Sports Leadership Academy held at Arbroath Academy on the 4th June.
 
Katie White (U17s) progressed onto complete 1.2 Coaching Young Footballers and 1.3 Coaching in the Game, through the VIP Volunteer Inspire Group at Craigie Community Pitch on 10th-13th July. Successfully completed her first 3 coaching courses on the SFA Childrens Pathway over the last 2 months.
 
Katie and Oliwia coach our U7/9 Juniors on a Tuesday night at the Market Muir, Katie also volunteered at our recent successful summer camps. This is a great asset for the club, we encourage all our senior players to get involved with our Juniors as well as gaining coaching qualifications through the club.
 
If you are interested in coaching but not currently a player we would also be interested to hear from you, please contact us for further information.

Farmington Flyers benefit from The ASDA Foundation

Farmington Flyers U15’s recently received grant assistance from The Asda Foundation. The sum of £997 has been used to purchase new strips and training gear. The photo shows the team wearing their new strips while being presented with the cheque by local branch employees Lyn Craig, Production and Fresh Manager and Andrea Logan, Community Champion.

The girls were presented with their new strips at Market Muir, prior to a league match v Raith Rovers on Saturday 8th April. Forfar had the best of the early chances but failed to convert them in to goals. The score remained 0-0 until half way through the second half when Raith began to gain the upper hand. The final score was 2-0 to the visitors.

 

Farmington Youngsters Involved In SFA Coaching Course

The club are encouraging their young footballers to expand on their football knowledge by getting involved in coaching courses.

16 year old Performance Squad members Leah White and Caitlin Mitchell along with 18 year old Rachelle Milton from our Ladies squad all took part in the recent SFA East Region 1.1 Early Touches course at Brechin High School.

All three girls have been involved with the club’s youth setup by coaching the U7 and U9 groups. It is an ideal situation to have these young women, who have achieved so much at Farmington, help with the junior girls and offer real female football role models for the youngsters at the club.

Junior Co-ordinator Jane Luckhurst is pleased to see players get involved with coaching younger girls, explaining: “In order to be successful our club relies heavily on volunteer help, as every club does, but the ideal situation would be if we could encourage more players to get involved in the coaching side of the club. This allows them to pass on their knowledge to the junior girls, and the junior girls are delighted to have the older players as coaches.”

Leah, Caitlin and Rachelle will all be taking part in the Level 1.2 course next month.
