Mark Salter – Level One Coach

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

I am delighted to be able to announce that Mark Salter is now a fully qualified UKCC Level One coach following his participation and success in a four session course over the third and fourth weekends in January.

Mark will bring his newly acquired skills and techniques to the Club in general and in particular to the Under 11s which is the side that he manages.

We now have five qualified coaches in the Club with Mark, Richard Short, Martin Ellacott, Les Reed and Paul Short all able to act in this respect.

Our young coaches James Bath, George Hooper and Sam Murdock are going to be undergoing similar as part of their college studies; thus further strengthening our coaching capacity going forward.
