SOCATOTS Representatives Gather for Coaching Course
Tuesday, 04 August 2009
Franchisees and coaches from around the globe gathered for the annual International Confederation of Futebol de Salao (ICFDS) coaching course, held in Leeds.John Farnworth

The event, held every July, saw representatives from nations such as Kenya, Singapore, Australia, America, Holland and Canada meet for practical and business sessions throughout the week.

SOCATOTS leaders and their coaches observed demonstrations of key aspects of the syllabus as well as taking the role of children within their sessions for a number of practical tutorials.

SOCATOTS is the world's first soccer-specific scheme, working with youngsters from six months up to five years to develop aspects such as numeracy, colour recogintion and motor skills. Founded in 2002 by Simon Clifford, the man behind the Brazilian Soccer Schools, the organisation has already made waves within the pre-school bracket, with many professional football clubs developing links with their local SOCATOTS centre.

Similarly, SOCATOTS continues to play a key role in the fight against obesity and the diseases this can cause, regularly partaking in Monkey March events amongst others.

This year's course followed on from the organisation's largest-ever growth, and coaches from the new franchises joined their more experienced counterparts in sessions that covered everything from core skills to one-to-one tuition.

Leading sports psychologist Damian Hughes was also on hand to lead a motivational seminar, while World Freestyle Champion and BSS graduate John Farnworth's demonstration underlined the potential rewards of hardwork and dedication.

On what was a terrific week at Trinity and All Saints campus in Leeds, head of SOCATOTS Mark Rasche said: "We had a brilliant course, with franchisees and their coaches joining the head office team.

"We enjoyed our most successful ever year over the last 12 months and to see how quickly each franchise is developing is a tribute to the tremendous franchisees, coaches, parents and children we have involved."
 
Socatots Monkey March 2009 - Huge Success

The monkey themed day at Marwell Wildlife on 5th July was our 2nd Annual event and was the best yet with over 200 chidlren taking part raising well over £1,000 for Caudwell Children. The money raised from the event will be going to a wheelchair especially for Alicia Pannell who was the beneficiary of our 2008 event. During the event children had the chance to have a photo taken by a professional photographer with our very own Socatots mascot, these pictures can be viewed and purchased at www.amazingphotostore.co.uk/vanessapix/

The march commenced at 11.30am covering 1 lap of the wildlife park and led by our guest of honour Alicia and her family, Sharon (Alicia's mum) said 'it was really good to see the Socatots team again and all our children and families and take part in an event that we know can make a massive difference to a sick child's life like Alicia, we are gratefully in debt for all the work Socatots and Caudwell Children have done to make Alicia more comfortable and we look forward to taking part in the event year on year.
