KIDDERMINSTER HARRIERS FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY SCHEME
 
 

THE COACHES

The Community Team consists of 5 full time coaches and various part time coaches. All have FA qualifications and a current CRB disclosure. Additional qualifications are also required, including first aid, safe-guarding children and coaching disabled footballers.

Our ethos is to give children the opportunity to play football in a safe and friendly atmosphere with the emphasis on fun. Technically, we want players to be comfortable with the ball and to be creative.
