Mousehole AFC are looking to recruit self-confident, committed and knowledgeable individuals to join our forward-looking coaching team as voluntary youth coaches.

The club has attracted massive interest in a short space of time and made a flying start to its new long-term plan to nurture young local talent under the leadership of full-time Director of Academy and Youth Development Jason Blunt, until recently coach at Leeds United.

Six youth teams have so far been created, with the prospect of more teams to complete the age-range from 5 to 16, and three-quarters of the available places in the new Elite Academy for 16-23 year olds have been filled.

These initiatives, promoted by the Endorsed Group, have resulted in Nike awarding ‘Partner Club’ status, and the club is establishing an Education Partnership with schools in the area.

Qualifications for the youth coaching roles include a Level 1 FA Coaching Award, First Aid, DBS/CRB check and Safeguarding certificate.

Enquiries to Jason Blunt on 07985 614692.  Applications via CV to jason.blunt@sky.com.

• After the overwhelming success of the recent trials and training sessions, Mousehole AFC have created the following teams and affiliated, registered and entered them all into the Kernow Youth League for next season:
• UNDER-9s
• UNDER-10s
• UNDER-11s
• UNDER-12s (two teams)
• UNDER-14s

A few weeks ago the club had no youth teams – now there are six!  Superb work by the coaches and everyone who’s supported them, and         congratulations to parents and not forgetting these important people: the youngsters themselves!

• For the UNDER-8s, plans will be announced about a series of training sessions, as soon as training pitches are confirmed  – so please watch this space!
• If any parents have any queries about any of this, please get in touch with Jason Blunt, Director of Academy & Youth Development, by ‘phone on 07985 614692, or by email to jason.blunt@sky.com  This includes anyone who may not have heard anything following the trials and training sessions (it’s possible we don’t yet have everyone’s accurate contact details).
