Kibworth Ladies Choir – Christmas Concert News!

Dear Editor

This month we’re taking a look at the introduction of the Coerver football coaching methodology at Kibworth Town from the perspective of a coach. Over the summer the club invested in becoming a Coerver partner club. This is a big deal as there is currently only one other partner club in Leicestershire. We decided to work with Coerver in order to give everyone at the club access to a comprehensive coaching programme. Its aim is to develop skilled, confident, creative players. Coerver have been around since 1984 and is used in 47 countries, at clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester United and all the way through to grass roots level. The methodology places great emphasis on individual skill sets, mental and physical speed, and combination play - principles which are relevant to both boys and girls of all age groups and abilities.

All to no avail. Now we are left with Kojak type lollipops! Perhaps very young, primary school, members of our family might be interested or perhaps we will keep them hidden. After all the packet states that they are best eaten before 31 March 2023!
