“We are very pleased to be able to support The Association of Football Coaches because it gives us the opportunity to continue contributing directly to grass roots football,” says Richard Callaway, Teamsports Marketing Manager at Puma.
“Anyone can join the scheme, as it is not restricted to coaches with previous qualifications, including teachers, youth team coaches, managers and all those individuals coaching football.”
In the first year, each coach that joins the scheme will receive a free branded tracksuit, access to six coaching seminars per year featuring Puma football players and coaches and regular updates on coaching drills and activities.
Says Phil Darren, AFC Director of Coaching: “As well as trying to develop the skill and technique of players, all the games and practices that we will offer to members are designed to be fun and to give variety to training. If young players enjoy training they will want to come back for more.”
