We have specialist Goalkeeper coaches and Player Development Portals to maximise your team's development.
We have internal coaching courses to improve and challenge you as a coach, refining your skills, opening doors to further opportunities in the game should you wish to progress, as well as considerable resources to help you deliver great training practices to help your players and team develop to the top.
We have two sites, in BS4 and BS5/15, working with teams aged 5-8. The ideal candidate will be coming in to work immediately with these players with view to playing fixtures just before or after Christmas.

This position offers an exciting opportunity for individuals who are enthusiastic about football coaching and wish to make a significant impact on the lives of young athletes through education and sport.
As a new club, there is certainly room for an individual to bring their ideas to life, to be part of something we hope will be ground-breaking, as well as take on additional paid opportunities, such as having a development/B-team that is training-only until ready for matches, working at our holiday football club camps, or building your own 1-2-1 coaching business using the resources at the club.
For one training session and one game per week, we are offering between £80 - £200 per month (including pay when teams are off-season, in half-terms, or you have holidays or sickness - we want to be somewhere that values its coaches) depending on your experience and progress internally.
