Coastal Spirit Football Club is proud to provide a coaching pathway program that will support, develop and guide selected coaches and key teams throughout the club as they move forward in football.
This new initiative will complement our existing player pathway program.
To facilitate this, the club has appointed Korouch Monsef for 10 hours per week to work with our promising junior, youth and senior coaches and give them the best opportunity and environment to fulfill their potential. Work will continue throughout the year. For more information, contact gareth@linfield.co.nz or Ph. 389-3007.
