Curzon Ashton developing coaches as well as players

Five of Curzon Ashton’s volunteer coaching staff, were busy last week on the new FA youth award module 1, learning the new ideas being introduced by the national coaching association. Curzon always looks to develop their coaches and took full advantage of the Community Charter Standard course sponsored by McDonalds. First team players Chris Worsley (men’s) and Carla Cleworth (women’s) both intend to use this course and others gained at Curzon to progress up the coaching ladder as well as getting involved with Curzon junior boys and girls. Paul Lees has been coaching voluntary for nearly four years now and at present is also on his level 2 coaching badge funded by the club. Aaron Mcgary and John Shorrock are both volunteer coaches with Curzon Junior boys, between them running two age groups. All coaches give up their time for free and help to give local young boys and girl’s opportunity to take part in fun structured football. Anybody wanting to join Curzon Ashton please ring mark for details on 0161 330 6033.

 

Curzon Ashton Christmas Tournament in May!!!!
Curzon Ashton finally got to run their annual Xmas tournament this weekend, due to the particular heavy winter we suffered, the tournament was cancelled three times in the Christmas holiday period. Also due to the popular playing surface down at Curzon the first free slot for the event was Sunday 9^th May 2010, almost 6 months late. With the weather on the day being slightly warmer than in December the players and their supporters turn out in numbers to make it a great tournament in terms of quality and fair play. All who took part were winners but the tournament winners on the day were U8 Reddish Vulcan’s, U9 Dukinfield Youth A and U10 Heyside.
A big thanks to all team managers and parents on the day for making it an enjoyable tournament.
