New kit for coaching ‘bobby’

We’re all still working hard to engage with young people in the Fazeley and Mile Oak area and as part of that one of the local Police Community Support Officers has just arranged to do some football coaching for youngsters.

He successfully qualified a couple of weeks ago as a level 1 FA coach and I said I’d get him some funding from my LMIS County grant scheme to get an additional kit to allow him to coach more often.

Unfortunately the scheme doesn’t allow individuals to be grant funded for this sort of thing so that was a non starter. Well, Kevin put in a lot of effort to get his qualification and the work he’s now going to do will pay dividends for local youngsters and the community. So, for the sake of a few quid out of my own pocket I thought it would be a nice surprise to buy it myself. And it was…he was delighted and the boots, training bottoms and soccer top all fitted fine.

He’s got football coaching lined up in Mile Oak, around the new youth club which opened last week, and also at Coton Green Football Club in Fazeley. Well done Kevin, what you are doing in the area is great!
