Under 6’s Coach Required

Southwell City is fully committed to providing football for children of all age groups, in a safe and supportive environment, enabling them to develop both on and off the field and to enjoy the game.

Coaching

Throughout all of our age groups we aim to increase each players ball skills as well as their team play and overall understanding of the game. For our very youngest players we offer mini-soccer, where we teach basic footballing skills. This works through the different ages, adding new skills and improving existing ones.

The club prides itself on its coaching staff. All our coaches have a minimum FA Level 1 coaching qualification, FA Safeguarding and first aid. As a club, all of of our coaches are volunteers and each season we need new ones, particularly for these younger age groups.

Under 6 Coach Required

Currently we do not have an Under 6’s team or any provision for younger players However we would like to be able to offer the very youngest boys and girls a chance to start playing football

Are you a parent with an interest in football? Would you like to become a coach, running a team for your son or daughter’s age group? If you are, we would like to hear from you!

The club encourages parents to become involved in the coaching and management of its teams. If you choose to take on this challenge, we will support you. We will appoint a coaching mentor from within the club to offer help and advice. We will pay for you to take the FA Level 1 course in football coaching too. You will also learn about emergency first aid and safeguarding. All coaches and assistants are required to undergo a full CRC check.

City Referees Take Charge

Southwell City recently hosted a training course for aspiring football referees.

The club hosted the referee course as part of the Young Elizabethan League Referee Community Development programme, run in conjunction with Nottinghamshire FA.

Eighteen young footballers from around the county participated in the course and all candidates became qualified FA mini soccer referees at the end of it.

Five of the participants were from Southwell. This helps the club as it increases the number of referees available to officiate at the club’s annual summer tournament.

The newly qualified referees were quickly in action as they were invited to officiate at a local Under 7’s tournament just one week later. The competition allowed the lads to quickly get some proper match experience, taking charge of a number of games each.

As the competition ended, the Southwell referees were chosen to take charge of both semi-finals and both finals on the day, making it a memorable debut for all of our newly qualified officials.
