Football Development Officer
Coventry, West Midlands, United Kingdom
- Football development officer responsible for all things football within the university, ranging from the very grassroots rock up and play to orchestrating the inter mural leagues to managing the university development team. Overall the programme I oversaw worked with over 1500 participants per semester.- I introduced and developed a new community facing project for girls ages 5-11 to play football, this has been so successful it was chosen by the FA to be filmed.
