We look forward to providing the coaches with the latest information and insights on running fun, valuable and confidence building sessions to our young footballers.”
McDonald’s Franchisee John McCollum added: “The McDonald’s and Irish FA’s Coaching Masterclass is a great example of the support McDonald’s is providing across Northern Ireland to raise the standard of the grassroots game.
“Our local coaches do such a fantastic job at providing young players with the environment they need to flourish both in football and in life. Corné was truly inspirational to the Northern Ireland coaches with us today and I am sure they will take all they have leart back to their grassroots football clubs.”
The McDonald’s Coaching Master classes are part of McDonald’s ongoing 13 year Community Partnership with the Irish Football Association.
