Most of the coaches are parents, and although it may be argued that they assume a more profiled position by standing in the middle of a field every week, they are nothing but a front for the small army of dedicated volunteers who ensure that every weekly sessions or match runs smoothly.

Whether it's putting the goals up (and taking them down) every Saturday & Sunday morning, helping with the bacon butties, drinks, TGFC Newsletter, clearing up, or ferrying players to matches. They're all jobs that need to be done in order to ensure that your child gets the opportunity to kick a ball.

Like most well oiled machines, every component plays it's own integral part. Every time someone picks up a brush or picks up a stack of cones, the part played contributes to the ongoing development and success of the club.

On training days and match days, the committee and it's coaches don't always get the opportunity to show their gratitude for the help they receive, but you can rest assured the appreciation is unquestionable.
