Swansea League Team

[FelindreJack]

Wondering if anybody could help me or just give me some advice.

I’m interested in entering a team in to the Swansea League, if not next season then the season after that, as once I’ve recovered from a spinal surgery I am due within the next few months, I am hoping to start my coaching badges. It is something I’m committed to doing, but have absolutely no clue on how to go about it, that includes finding a home pitch, getting a kit etc etc so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated, if it’s something someone would like to get more involved with then I’d be more than happy to have people on board.

You ought to ask Russ's advice, he seems to be intent on getting the Swans into that league.

Seriously though, mate, I wish you the very best of luck with your op, and in fulfilling your ambitions. YJB

I bet there’s a few people in the Swansea League that would out do him tactically as well

Thanks mate I appreciate it. I’ve had nearly 2 years off work because of it so I’ve had a lot of time to think over things and I’ve always enjoyed coaching (I’ve coached kids teams on and off over the years) but I’m hoping I can make it a career at some point in the future.

I also wish you well, and as for making a career out of it, you'll be fine. From what I've witnessed the bar isn't set that high.

Good luck with that.
Hopefully you’ll smash it, and take on board all our moans and groans on this platform and avoid Russball.
You could possibly end up in the dugout at the Liberty too!

I could never manage the Swans, I know exactly what gets said on here and the other forum

Cheers for the kind words gentlemen, thankfully a couple of guys have offered their help in different ways which I’m very appreciative of so hopefully we can get the wheels rolling. The offer is out to anyone though who does want to get involved in any capacity.

I teach martial arts at the moment but I've often thought about coaching football, I love teaching. Good luck to you Felindre hope it goes well.

I do know the guy who coaches galaxy fc and I think he's just got a job with the swans coaching under 7s I could ask him for some tips or maybe put you in touch with him.

When my lad was 6 he joined a club, I then took on the coaching for a further 6 years with em. Out of everything I've ever done its probably the most rewarding and emotional time I've had in sport. So to anyone taking that on....good luck, as long as you have supportive kids parents you'll love it.

Does he run the Galaxy senior side or one the juniors? I know Leon Britton was involved with them (I think his kid(s) play for them).

The side I’ll be running is a seniors side, but once the op is over with and I can crack on with my badges, any involvement with the Swans would be fantastic tbf.

His name is Chris Hopkins and it's the kids, like I said I think he's just got the gig at the swans with the under 7s.
