Julie Chipchase Coaching Conference
Everyone was saddened to learn of Julie's passing last year – better known as ‘Chippy’ to
those that knew her – having spent 15 years working for the the FA in various roles. Her CV
is a long list of achievements and accolades, having made her name with the legendary
Doncaster Belles, winning the FA Cup as a player, and managing the side in the
competition’s final in 2000 against Croydon.
Her affiliation with the club lasted right up until her passing, having performed
virtually every role possible at the Belles since joining as a player in the 1970s, with her most
recent role being director of football, while also sitting on the club’s board. As well as the
Belles, Chipchase went onto work with Leeds United and the England Women’s teams,
being involved from U15s right through to the senior setup.
In her memory, West Riding FA will be hosting a charity Coaching Conference to
celebrate her fantastic work within West Riding and football, to continue her legacy of
developing both coaches and players.
The Conference will be on Saturday 2nd July at West Riding FA, Fleet Lane, Leeds
from 9.30am - 3.30pm. On the day, an unbelievable amount of talented coaches will be
delivering, including:
● Gemma Grainger - Wales National Manager
● Carla Ward – WSL Manager
● Pav Singh – The FA Coach Development Officer
● Kelsey Byrne - Women’s National Coach Development Officer
● Emma Doone – National Head Coach
● Sally Needham – Academy Human Development and Performance Culture Lead
The conference will finish with a Doncaster Belles Legends fixture. The full event is
for the charity Breast Cancer UK, with coaches attending having to pay £5 to gain entry on
the day.
Suzanne Smith, FA Regional Coach Development Officer (North East) and
Conference Organiser, said "I am very excited to be holding this event in memory of our
much loved friend and former FA colleague Julie Chipchase.
"The inspiration Chippy gave me throughout my career, the belief in myself and where
I am today within The FA is through Chippy's mentoring and time, and I believe many
coaches will also feel like this. Chippy always wanted to talk football, and this event I hope
will do just that.
"Bringing, friends and coaches all together for a day of football, learning, development
and remembering our much loved and missed Chippy is something I hope is something she
will be looking down on, being proud and smiling."
