Special Hastings Football Club Appeals For More Coaches

Hastings football club The 1066 Specials, a locally-run club for children and adults challenged by disability or special needs, is calling for more coaches as the club grows.

Formed in 2003 by Bexhill Rotarian Harold Lawrence, the club runs regular 'themed' training sessions offering a 'stimulating and interesting experience for participants' to help players gain confidence, self esteem and friendships.

The organisation, which is completely run by volunteers, has won several awards, including Sussex Sports Partnership Approved Club, Football Association Standard Club Award, and the Queens Award for Voluntary Service.

With just a handful of members when the club started, it has now expanded to around 50, prompting organisers to appeal for more help coaching the team.

Anyone interested can email Head Coach Paul Anderson on pnanderson@live.co.uk.
