This half term 6 new, young coaches were given the opportunity to pass the Real Madrid coaching diploma, as part of our link with the Real Madrid Foundation.

The course, lasting for two days, gave new ideas into technical, tactical, social, health and mental coaching practices to the young coaches. 

The course was led by Nacho Abascal from the Real Madrid Foundation.

“I am so glad that I am able to help more young people of Croydon onto their coaching journeys” said Abascal.

“The boys were really enthusiastic and passionate and I hope they can continue to run this project for many years to come”

The Saturday Soccer School is the only one in the UK and came to Croydon in February 2017. The school has already seen over 200 local primary school boys and girls take part in free football coaching sessions. Get involved!
