Great mentoring, modern facilities, CPD paid for
Weekend fixtures can make for long weeks
Thank you! We’re proud of our coach development programme and always looking at ways to balance the matchday load.

Most coaches do three evening sessions and a Saturday or Sunday fixture, plus one planning meeting. Full-time staff also deliver daytime sessions for the education programme.
Do you support coaching qualifications like the UEFA B?
1 answer
Yes. We fund one qualification a year for staff who’ve completed their probation, and give paid time off for course days.
