The first two female coaches coffee clubs were well attended by females from around the county,
all with different backgrounds and experiences but all with a shared desire to give something
back to the game and to make a difference.
The events were supported by Natasha Mills (Coach Development Officer) and Martin
Dighton (FA Women’s and Girls’ Coach Development Officer) who both have roles to support
female coaches in the game.

big thank you to all those who joined the online meetings and gave up their time to connect with
others and share their experiences".
