Like most coaches I got involved with football when my son started playing. From helping out the coach I got more interested in the coaching aspect so I completed my FA level 1 coaching badge, welfare officer course and became an FA licensed coach and now run my youngest son’s team as well as helping run the club.
The welfare of the children at our club is very important to me so everything we do is to benefit the kids directly as it’s their game after all!
In my spare time if I’m not watching Manchester United I’m thinking of how we can achieve the goal of making SAJFC the best club in town.
Club Joint Secretary and welfare officer
Ben Minto
I have been coaching grassroots football for 6 years now and love every minute of it! I currently coach the U8s and U11s at the club. I’m extremely excited about the future of the club- with the right people in the right places this will be a community club with the best interest of the children at its core.
I have 4 children with 3 of them playing in teams for the club. So my spare time is usually taken up by something relating to football!
I’m also a massive Everton football club supporter.
The Coach Mentor
Martyn “Robbo” Robertson
I gained my Level 1 coaching badge in 2006. Over the years I have been lucky enough to gain experience at grassroots, academy and elite level. I am now a FA Level 3 Licensed coach. My main coaching qualifications also include The FA Level 1 in Coaching Goalkeepers, The FA Coaching Disabled Footballers, FA Coaching Futsal and The FA Youth Award. I have also been involved on the FA Women’s High-Performance Football Centre’s Course where I was involved with Liverpool FC Women’s First Team and with The England Women’s Senior Team.
My role within the club is to work closely with all our teams at SAJFC. Looking at ways to support and develop our clubs, coaches, volunteers and players. I will be helping with training sessions ideas and ways we can incorporate the England DNA programme into the club.
I am a big Liverpool fan and in the past was lucky enough to be a season ticket holder and see the team lift some trophies at the finals I have attended.
