Working with 'Elite' Female Players

The FA Centre of Excellence operated by Dorset County FA, hosted an in-service event for coaches on Monday 29 September 2008.

The event at Purbeck Sports Centre, Wareham was led by Alan Gillett (Regional Coach Development Manager) who led the Under 10 and Under 14 age groups through themed practices around defending.

14 Coaches from Dorset FA Coaches Association and a range of Girls League Clubs attended.

Liz Pill (FA Centre of Excellence Director) commented:
‘The workshop allowed coaches from local Clubs the opportunity to come along and observe the standard of players involved within the FA Centre of Excellence programme; and also to enhance their knowledge through observing Alan.’
