This is a FREE course for coaches training 5-9 year old players. The 3 hour course is practical and encourages the coaches to develop practices based on FUN. The emphasis is on natural development i.e. learning by PLAYING football. Less coaching, but…

When he retired from playing he didn’t hang up his boots but instead turned his passion to refereeing. Jimmy (along with Ron Spence and Bob Stelfox) were instrumental in establishing the SOCCER FORUM, an innovative monthly in-season magazine for local soccer enthusiasts produced by the Hobart Sub-…
