FOOTBALL: Academy in search of new coaching staff

Indeed, with the current campaign just about to end, Coleraine FC Academy are already planning for next year, and they are looking for coaches at all age groups.

Every week, some 350 children, boys and girls, are catered for at Coleraine, and there are also over 100 taking part at the Club's Soccer School.

Re-structuring within the the senior club will have a beneficial knock-on effect at the Academy.

It is hoped that new coaches and assistants will be in place well in advance of next season.

Developing youth players that progress to the senior team, is the Academy's main priority.

Coleraine currently have some of the best young players in the Irish Premier League - Dooley, Watt, Beverland, McVey, Tommins, and Canning to name but a few, including arguably the best young manager, Davy Platt.

It is therefore logical that all the main coaching positions are filled as soon as possible.

So, if you have qualifications that are not being utilised to the full, and are up for the challenge contact Stephen Quinn as soon as possible at 028 7035 7316
