Coerver® Coaching are delighted to welcome Tass Thistle from North Ayrshire as a Coerver® Partner Club.
Coerver® Partner Club provides grassroots clubs with professional level support in the development of coaches and players. The club receives support in 4 key areas of Coach Education, Session Planning, Team Training & Resources.
Like Coerver® Coaching, Tass Thistle was founded in 1984, beginning with 1 team, now the club has players aged 5-16, with both boys and girls teams playing in local leagues. This new partnership will see 120 children from Ardrossan, Saltcoats and Stevenston from age five upwards receiving Coerver® training. Coaches at Tass Thistle will also have ongoing education in delivering the Coerver® method during team training sessions.
John Slavin, Tass secretary, said: “Tass have a few coaches using Coerver® methods and we could see how effective they were in developing our young players. We really wanted the whole club to benefit and this is an ideal way to do it’.
“It’s also a great accolade to become an official Coerver® Partner Club. We can’t wait to get started, the players and coaches are really excited about it.”
Tass chairman Alex Tulloch said it was credit to the club that the parents, players and coaches embraced the innovative partnership.
He added: “We’re so grateful to the parents for their positive response which has allowed us to take the partnership forward and in turn, will help their children’s football education to flourish.
“Tass have always had a reputation for developing players, this partnership with Coerver® will help keep us ahead of the game.”
Coerver® Coaching Scotland Director Joe Jones said: “Its great to welcome Tass Thistle as a Partner Club. We believe our work across the country with clubs can really make a difference to the development of players and coaches. Having visited the club it was great to see the enthusiasm they have for player development, we look forward to a successful partnership’.
The first coaching session will be held in August 2015.
