Coaches
I am Coach Bramwell, HC with a youth team called Fife Fire, from Scotland UK. We have kids from ages 14-16 (juniors) and 16-18 (youths) simliar to your JV and V I think?
We are a recently established team, and we compete nationally against 5 or 6 other teams. You can find out about us at www.fifefire.com
Football over here is a far cry from what you would be used to as coaches. We don't have 2-a-days, we have 2-a-weeks if we're lucky! Our players also have to pay for the privilidge to play this great sport, as it is regarded as a minority sport and gets little sponsorship backing.
I am keen to put in place some form of partnership/association with a high school team stateside, basically where our 2 organisations could exchange thoughts/ideas etc.
I'd like to think our kids could get involved in some sort of exchange program, and our coaches could swap ideas and stories. I think it would be a great opportunity to let the guys find out about our different cultures through the medium of football, as well as have friends from a different country.
I'd appreciate anyones thoughts on this. I know it might be a big undertaking, but I think it would reep great benefits for everyone involved.
Yours in sport
