The hugely successful international coach and referee development programme run by the Premier League and the British Council launches a new phase in Khartoum.The week-long course will provide intensive practical training for 44 male and female grassroots football coaches and 20 referees from Sudan and South Sudan.
Premier Skills Phase 2 is taking place from 7 December 2011 to the 12 December 2011 and will be led by Jeremy Weeks, a UEFA qualified coach previously employed by Fulham Football Club. He will be supported by Rachel Parker and Stephen McCarthy, community coaches from Bolton Wanderers and Queen’s Park Rangers Football Clubs respectively.
Running alongside the coach programme will be an ‘Introduction to Refereeing’ course, which will focus on teaching community organisation representatives the rules of football, and how to officiate the game of football at any level. The course is being led by former international FIFA referee, Keith Hackett, and will be assisted by Alan Wiley, who was a professional Premier League referee up to his retirement in 2010. This component will run from 5 December 2011 to the 7th December 2011.
The courses in Khartoum are being jointly organised by the British Council, Premier League and Sudan Football Association, who will launch the Premier Skills Phase 2 programme on 7 December 2011 at the Khartoum Football Stadium. This will also celebrate the completion of the referee course. The second phase of the Premier Skills programme is also supported by the Sudanese Ministry of Youth and Sport and the Khartoum Youth Council.
