Mentors & Coaches

TSS GFC exists because of the continued contribution of our coaches and mentors and we always welcome involvement from new and old coaches alike.


Within the Juvenile Section there has been huge growth in our numbers over recent years and we need more and more parents to help us sustain this growth. Whether its helping the odd day at training or matches or being able to give a bit more on a weekly basis, there is so much both the coach and their child get from the experience.
