Ray Power - Head of Football Performance and Development
My role is two-fold:
I coach and head up the Football Performance Programme. I oversee football staff and volunteers, as well as 45 male footballers and 20 female ones. All teams compete in very competitive leagues in the English Colleges FA and British Colleges league system.
I also lead the college's football development work. This involves working with the Football Association, local clubs, schools and community groups to increase the standards and participation levels of local grassroots football. We run a lot of volunteer initiatives which can involve refereeing, coaching and event organising.
"To provide opportunity and access for any participant to be successful in their chosen area of football, regardless of gender, ethnicity, ability or social background."
