Football Coaching USA

Summer 2009

UK International Soccer Camps (UKISC) are looking for soccer coaches to work in the USA over the summer of 2009.  This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain the hours of work experience needed for their course and it is also a fantastic experience in itself. An assessment day will take place this Sunday the 14th of December at Petershill Park. Even if you are unsure about going to the USA for the summer, I would advise that you come along on Sunday to find out about how the company operate. THIS IS TOO GOOD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MISS!

Here are the details for Sunday’s assessment date.   If you wish to attend, please contact Robert Dinnie on 07967398473 or by email at Robert.dinnie@uksocca.com.

UKISC recruitment director Robert Dinnie has arranged a practical assessment and interview day at Petershill Park in Glasgow on Sunday 14th December 10:00am - 4:00pm.
 
I have included the address and link below and I would suggest that you use AA Routemaster or Google maps to access directions.

Petershill Park, Springburn, 30 Adamswell St, Glasgow, G21 4DD

The day will run as follows:
 
10:00am – 10:30am – Presentation on UK International Soccer Camps.
10:30am – 1.00pm – Individual interviews for interested coaches.
1:00pm – 4:00pm – Practical on the field coaching assessment.

You should prepare a session plan for Sunday.
This should be completed and brought with you on the day.  Each session plan should consist of a warm-up, unopposed and opposed activities which lead to a conditioned game and cool down.  Please plan for a 60-90 minute session. You will likely only be expected to coach for 10-15 minutes on the day (However you may be asked to coach for longer).  The topic of your session can be any one of the following and can be based on any age between 5-12 years.

Dribbling, Possession, Control, Passing, Heading, Defending, Shooting.
 
Please note:  we do not expect to see a “Jose Mourinho” style session!  We simply want to see you have a personality on the field and are capable of coaching a progressive session inclusive of relevant coaching points for young children.

I would also request that you ensure on bringing the following coaching items:
·    A stopwatch or wrist watch with timer
·    Appropriate footwear for a field session (boots or astro trainers)
·    Appropriate clothing for a coaching session ( please ensure that you bring a full change of clothing in case of inclement weather as both shower and changing facilities will be available)
·    A size five football

To increase the speed of any possible visa application and also provide us with more background material of you I would be grateful if you could bring along the following documents.

·     Photocopies of your coaching qualifications.
·     Photocopy of the picture page of your passport.
·     An up to date CV.
·     A photocopy of both paper and card parts of your driving License if you have one.
 
NOTE:  We will not have photocopying facilities so please ensure all documents you bring are copies. We will not take original documents from you.

Please be there 10-15 minutes early so we can start promptly.  There will be no real opportunity to leave for food or drink so please ensure that you bring a packed lunch with you and plenty of fluid. Tea and Coffee will be provided upon arrival.

I would be grateful if you haven’t completed a 2009 online application that you go to http://76.89.105.17/UKCoaches/addrecord.php and complete one before we meet. Once this is completed you will be in our system.
 
I would be extremely thankful if you could confirm your attendance?

Kind Regards  

Craig Hope (Glasgow Caledonian football 2nd team captain)
