Forestdale FC Take Part in FA Boot Room Session with Surrey County Coach Developer

Forestdale Football Club were recently invited to take part in a coaching session recorded for The Boot Room, the Football Association's grassroots coaching platform.
​
The session was delivered by Peter Augustine, Surrey County Coach Developer, and hosted by Horsley Football Club on their 4G pitch. It ran for an hour and the kids loved it.

The focus was goalkeeping — not just the basics, but encouraging goalkeepers to be brave, to communicate, and to take control of phases of play. It's a side of youth football coaching that doesn't always get the attention it deserves, and Peter delivered it brilliantly.
Forestdale FC is a grassroots youth football club in the Croydon and Bromley area. We regularly work to give our players coaching and experiences that go beyond the ordinary — from FA-led development sessions like this to pre-academy fixtures against professional clubs. This was another example of that.

Thanks to Peter Augustine, The Boot Room, and Horsley Football Club for having us.
