Paul Lynch will help new coaches become part of the S7s team.
Forres Area Soccer 7s is appealing to energetic and enthusiastic people to come forward to join the club to help coach the youngsters.
In recent months, we have lost a number of helpers due to their own children moving on. We need around 20 new coaches to ensure the sessions which take place every Sunday and once during the week, run smoothly.
Shaun Moat, chairman of the club explained: “Traditionally we have often had parents of children who attend the club becoming coaches and volunteering, but we have had quite a few children move on from the club due to their age and the parents have decided to go too.
“We would welcome help from anyone though, not just people whose children are involved. As long as they are enthusiastic, like kids and are happy to muck in twice a week. They don’t even need to have an interest in football. They just need to be able to get the kids excited about the sport. We have great training systems for coaches, so nobody would be left not being able to add value to the group.”
Forres Area Soccer 7s understand the importance of keeping kids active and creates a foundation for young players who wish to progress their footballing career and help provide a stepping stone to more advanced development.
The club caters for children from 4 to 12 years old.
After a winter break, the Soccer 7s will return at Grant Park on February 14 and membership for the club is booming.
“Coupled with the fact that we have lost coaches, we are also looking at a number of new youngsters starting in February,” explained Shaun, “so we need to make sure we can cater for all these active kids.”
