COACHES OPEN EVENING

Gillingham FC’s Girls Centre of Excellence, the only Centre of Excellence in Kent, are holding a number of Open Evenings this season for coaches and volunteers of grassroots clubs to find out more about the Centre of Excellence programme. 

The evenings are open to coaches and volunteers from grass roots and youth football clubs and are all FREE to attend.  The open evening will provide coaches with two FA CPD (Continuous Professional Development) hours. 

Our first Open Evening was held in September and we are now preparing for our second evening taking place on Wednesday 4th November.  

The evening will be hosted by our Technical Director, Mark Patterson, who will deliver a session on ‘counter attacking to finish and managing overloads’ with our U13 squad. Coaches will have the opportunity to go pitchside and ask questions about the session and topic.   

@ The Abbey School, London Road, Faversham, ME13 8RZ (3G)

Our last session will take place next year and will again be open to coaches and volunteers from grass roots and youth football clubs and will offer attendees the opportunity to view sessions, ask questions regarding the evening’s topic and also find out more about the FA talent pathway.
