Quote ="FredParky"The presence in schools could be addressed in part by allocating schools to the Scholarship lads and asking them to give coaching advice to the pupils, I say scholarship lads as they are effectively the only 'full time' players, this could give them various skills in dealing with younger people and presentation skills, there are simple lesson plans at the club that could be followed. If any grant money is available then a couple of first team players could be employed on a part time basis to oversee the project. I would be happy to be an administrator on the project as a volunteer.'"
A ' presence ' in schools is pointless if it isn't followed up properly Fred , I've told this one a million times , it is only the ' sell ' it isn't the ' closing ' of the deal , that has to come from the club
