NUFC MATCH DAY EXPERIENCE
“The fact that we were able to train at the first team complex and get our pictures taken in
the press room was first class. To then be met and led pitch side at St. James made the lads
feel special. The standard of coaching and interaction with the lads from Rob was
outstanding, he worked them hard and they learnt a lot in two hours. Rob then looked
after our every need from training through to the end of the game. The game and
atmosphere was obviously brilliant also, we were lucky to be able to be there! We played
the top of the league in our match on the Sunday and won 7-0 so the boys must have picked
something up!”

KEEPER TRAINING & CLUB 2 CLUB FUN DAYS
“Just a quick note a big thanks to Steve and the other coaches today the kids had a great
time at the fun day as did the 3 Grainger Park coaches/newcastle college students who
helped out. The keeper training last night was also brilliant and the kids really enjoyed the
session with Steve. These sessions have made a massive difference to all our keepers with
our managers and coaches seeing vast improvements”
Nicola McCabe, Chairperson for Grainger Park Football Club
COACH THE COACH CLINICS
“The Coach the Coach Clinics have been of direct benefit to myself and my club as we
continue to develop. Personally I've taken away tips, session plans, seen how a number of
different coaches from a variety of levels work with players and also made a number of
contacts with coaches in the local area. There is always at least one point I can take back to
my own team”
Dave Malone, Cramlington United Football Club
TEAM TRAINING
“I am keen to plan more sessions prior to the start of next season as the work Dean and
Liam has been fantastic in developing and inspiring our players . A number of the group
have told me that they are now practising their skills at home which they have not done
before. The friendlies that we have recently had have shown the huge improvements made
so far”
