Coaching Young People in Gorton

FC United have been involved in coaching sessions for young people on the Ryder Brow estate in Gorton, during May half term.

The coaching is designed as drop in sessions in conjunction with Manchester City Council.

Manager Karl Marginson has been involved with the coaching and says ’the coaching is valuable to young people and to the club. This is something that we want to develop more, especially in areas where opportunities don’t come along that often’.

Anthony Thompson who is an employee of Manchester City Council and is the project manager said ’this is a great scheme for young people especially with the strong partnership between FC United, Gorton Sports Development and myself’.

Anthony added ’everyone has developed useful experiences and the coaches have all worked well together. It is great to see community objectives being delivered’.
