//Coaching for Hope sounds like a really exciting initiative. They run volunteer football-based programmes in Africa and now India. From their website:
“Coaching for Hope is an innovative programme which uses football to create better futures for young people in West and Southern Africa. We’re part of the international volunteering and development charity, Skillshare International.
We tap into the global passion for football and organise coaching courses where professional coaches from the UK train local youth workers to recognised FA standards. At the same time, the local coaches learn how to deliver HIV awareness and life skills sessions to young people in their communities.
Once the UK coaches leave, our programme staff provide ongoing support to the graduates. This means they can deliver Coaching for Hope sessions and develop training initiatives of their own.”
//VIRSCO (Virtual Sports Coaching – run by two of our SES graduates) have a coaching position available in and around Lincoln. The start of the contract will be 10 hours voluntarily during training, leading into a 6 hour paid position per week thereafter. More hours to be available when you are established in the company.

Should you not have a current football coaching qualification then the club may be happy to pay for you to attend a local course but this is obviously dependant upon the time you can commit. Ideally they are looking for students to commit over the next 18-24 months. Home matches are at Yarborough Leisure Centre on Sundays. Attendance at weekend games is not essential however.
Should you be interested then please contact Alex Blackett (ablackett@lincoln.ac.uk) stating your proposed commitment, preferred age group to coach along with any football coaching experience you may have which may include coaching qualifications.
