Guest Coaching - Medway

Bit of a random one this.

I've just started coaching a girls team who will be joining the U10 Kent league in September. We've had maybe 4/5 sessions so far and 1 friendly.

My coaching experience is non existent, although I think at this level I have a good idea of the basics.

What I was wondering though was if anyone knew someone who might be willing to give an hour on a Thursday evening, or on a Saturday morning, to run a training session both to help me but also for the girls. Happy to pay a reasonable amount for their time.

I know people have contacts at the club and didn't know whether this might be something a female player might be interested in doing or anyone else with something to offer? Maybe a stupid idea. I really would rather get someone from Charlton before we have to approach Gillingham! 

Appreciate any thoughts

Thanks

Try women's team general manager Steve.adamson@cafc.co.uk

I think that's still his email but let me know it bounces back

Thanks Ben, will give that a try.

There's also a free online FA course that you can do, which is the first step to then taking subsequent coaching courses that you'd have to pay for:

Cant help with the coaching, but i wish you all the best. Nothing but admiration for people who give up their free time to help youngsters play sport of any kind. Good Luck to your team, keep us updated as to how they do.
