Next year's Charity Day  -  put a note in your diaries...July 16th 2011


 



Taunton Town Football Club in partnership with Proco Football Developments is launching an exciting new initiative for coaching 6 to 16 year olds. A Development Centre is being created locally which will coach young male and female players with the aim of discovering and nurturing talented youngsters and allowing their maximum potential to be realised. Coaching programmes will be age related and structured to ensure the players have fun and are allowed to express themselves whilst also gaining technical knowledge of the game.
 
Players will be coached by qualified staff with the opportunity to then go on and play for the Taunton Town Under 18 side and hopefully challenge for first team selection in due course. Recent changes at Wordsworth Drive have led to a more progressive outlook going forward and the framework is now in place for a player to appear at youth, County league, Southern League and ladies level.
 
The club have appointed two experienced coaches to run the Centre. Gary Knight is a former Taunton Town striker who recently took up the role of assistant manager for Taunton Blackbrook FC. He has coached at Yeovil Town and also works for the Somerset FA along with his colleague Andy Gill who similarly coached at Yeovil as well as in the Western League and abroad, and was recently appointed head coach for the Under 16’s at the Somerset FA Girls Centre Of Excellence.
 
Knight commented “ I think this is a very positive move by Taunton Town and I’m extremely excited by the challenge ahead. I want to stress that we are not looking to steal youngsters away from their existing clubs in youth leagues but see this as an additional opportunity for them to develop their footballing skills which will benefit all concerned.”
 
There has already been a lot of initial interest shown and with places in the Centre limited, parents are advised to contact the coaches at the earliest opportunity.

Full details can be obtained from Gary Knight on 07789 004409 or email gary.knight66@btinternet.com , or Andy Gill on 07817 984424 / andygill66@hotmail.co.uk

ANOTHER WIN ON THE ROAD.

Town journeyed to former Western League rivals Bideford this afternoon (30 August) and came away with an impressive 2-1 victory. Rodney Marsh put Taunton ahead on the half hour and Luke Cole then launched a screamer into the top right corner to put daylight between the sides after Bideford had stepped up the pressure in the second half. Jamie Mudge did pull a goal back for the hosts but solid defending and a fine goalkeeping display by Chris Astley saw Town hold firm and they could even have extended their lead after Craig Veal hit the post and Alexis Piper missed a good chance. Match report now online.
