Eltham College participate in coaching program for local club.
Melbourne City College of Football affiliate Eltham College has embarked on a football leadership program with local club Eltham Redbacks.
The group of five students lead a Saturday morning skills program for young children at Eltham, using the skills from the Melbourne City FC coaching orientation program the Club ran earlier in the year. Lewis Butterfield Tucker, Sean Lamb, Koray Demir, Angus Wiley and Adam Josevski have run the 16-week program since April and have seen the group develop exponentially.
The program is a collaboration between Melbourne City FC and its affiliate school Eltham College as well as Eltham Redbacks FC. We would like to congratulate the group for their continual hard work during the program.
