Bangor Football Development Centre is looking for NEW coaches!

The Football Development Centre is on the lookout for people who are interested in climbing the coaching ladder.

Youth Development Officer, Craig Bowers said “This is a great opportunity for people with no coaching awards or qualifications who are interested in football coaching, or may even have been doing some coaching, to get involved and participate in the McDonalds Coaching Programme. They will be trained up to Junior Team Manager level by the IFA and will get the opportunity to coach in post primary schools in North Down and the surrounding area – and get paid to do it!”

“McDonalds sponsor this programme and it is run nationally through the Football Development Centre programme.”

The programme is entering year 2 and coaches have already taken the programme to Bangor Academy, St Columbanus College, Donaghadee High School and Sullivan Upper.

Year 2 will start with volunteers from across the country going through their coaching training in January with the first phase of coaching sessions in schools starting in February until April and the second phase 2 from September to November. Volunteers will need to commit to the full programme.

Anyone who is interested or would like more information should call Craig Bowers on 9145 7712 or email craig.bowers@bangorfc.com
