Craig Molloy Coaching C.I.C also offers a vital Volunteer Programme designed to support young people in our community. This programme thoughtfully integrates basic employability skills training, showing how the discipline and teamwork inherent in football are directly applicable in the workplace.
This initiative aims to promote physical health while equipping young participants with transferable skills essential for employment, thereby enhancing their opportunities. We currently have two enthusiastic local young people making great strides within this programme, gaining valuable experience and building a strong foundation for their careers.
We successfully launched our Modern Apprenticeship programme on April 28th, with two local young people starting their coaching careers with us. The programme provides a clear pathway to a sports coaching qualification and includes vital SFA Coaching courses.
To ensure the best possible development and a safe environment, all our coaches are 1st Aid trained and have received training in trauma-informed practices. Our new apprentices will learn and grow within this professional and supportive framework.
In collaboration with Inverclyde food delivery service Clyde Eats, we launched the “Play It Forward” kit drive. This program aimed to provide gently used football kits and gear to local children, ensuring they had the equipment needed to participate in sports with confidence.
The “Play It Forward” drive sought to equip young athletes, with the goal of fostering a positive ripple effect for them across Inverclyde. The community was encouraged to come together and support local kids.
Donations of gently used kit were accepted at Lady Octavia, Gibshill Community Centre, and Notre Dame High School. As a token of appreciation, every donor received a Clyde Eats voucher. This initiative truly showcased the power of community collaboration in supporting the aspirations of young athletes in Inverclyde.
We run this occasionally throughout the year, stay tuned on our socials for future announcements.
