Football Club Gives Coaching Students High Praise
1 March 2013
The University of Derby Buxton's Academic Sport Team
A group of University of Derby Buxton Sports Coaching students have been thanked personally for their 'excellent work' supporting local football club, Buxton FC, with its half term children's activities.
The students spent the week coaching Buxton FC's young talented football players, gaining vital experience with its coaching team.
Chris Hill, Buxton FC Community Development Officer, said: "The students were nothing short of excellent. They were a credit to themselves, us as a club and the University. The real life experience of practical, on the job learning (of not only coaching but also the surrounding provisions that go into an event) was an invaluable experience for the students. "
Buxton students have now been asked to work with the Club to progress its community scheme, including football camps, dance and multi skills events over the next few months.
Students interested in this opportunity should contact Lee Rylands, Lecturer in Sports Coaching and Development on l.rylands@derby.ac.uk
