FA qualified coaches for every age group

Since the club was created, Horsforth JFC has always put professional FA coaching at the core of what we do.
All of our coaches are either Stage 1 or Stage 2 FA qualified and regularly update the professional qualifications.
Every age group has at least one dedicated FA qualified coach.

Each training session follows a structured plan, that’s tailored to each age group.

Our coaches are supported by parent helpers. We also have a programme of ‘young coaches’ at the club where some of our older players are supporting the younger age groups at the same time as doing their professional coaching qualifications.

All of our coaches, parent helpers and young coaches are fully safeguarding trained and have all the necessary BDS checks.

Here’s what some of our fantastic volunteer managers say about their work with the club:

”I’ve been a manager at Horsforth Juniors for 12 months now and it’s been a privilege to be able to watch the children flourish and develop as footballers. The club puts the children at the heart of everything that they do and fully support the coaches and managers in ensuring they give them the greatest opportunity to improve as players. The facilities available to the club are fantastic and make training and playing (and coaching) a brilliant experience for all involved”

”Being a team manager is great as you get to see the players grow as footballers and people. I’m lucky to have a group of players who are such willing listeners and a really positive and supportive group of parents who always help out as needed”
