The children at our Oldbury course had an early Christmas present when former West Bromwich Albion & Birmingham City star Darren Carter turned up to present them with a trophy.
Darren, who is currently playing his football at Northampton Town, presented the trophies to both Groups 1 & 2 children. Children had photos with Darren, who also signed autographs at the end of the presentations.
All of us here at Soccer Star Coaching had an extremely proud moment on Saturday when our Ambassador Curtis Davies, not only lead his team Hull City onto the pitch at Wembley in the FA Cup final, but he also scored his sides second goal of the game.
Curtis, who is a close friend of Head Coach Justin, was mixed with emotion after the game. He was on a high from for filling every little boys dream of scoring at Wembley, but gutted as his team let a 2-0 lead slip, allowing Arsenal to take the FA Cup back to The Emirates. The game finished 3-2 to Arsenal after extra time. Arsenal’s quality showed as Hull legs became tired in extra time, with an Aaron Ramsey scoring the winning goal to cap off a great season for him on a personal level.
Hull skipper Curtis Davies was devastated as his side squandered their two-goal lead and saw The Cup slip from their grasp.
The centre-back was desperate to lift the trophy for the club and their supporters and it looked like they would after he added to James Chester’s opener to help the Tigers go two up.
A heart-broken Davies said: “When they got tired they still had the quality.
“We gave everything but we are left feeling flat. It was a hard game to throw away from 2-0 up but that’s what we did.”
Hull manager Steve Bruce had been rightly heaped with praise this season after keeping the club in the Premier league and reaching the first FA Cup final in the club’s history.
But honest Davies admits he would rather have a medal round his neck that compliments ringing in his ears.
“I’d sooner have no plaudits and win, than have the plaudits and not be getting a medal,” he said.
We would like to congratulate our two fantastic ambassadors, Curtis Davies (Top) and Darren Carter (Bottom) on winning the Player Of The Season award for Hull City F.C. & Nothampton Town F.C. respectively.
Both Curtis and Darren have come along to many of our camps and courses to present awards to our own little soccer stars.

Hi,
This is just to let you know that my son Jake signed up
for the Group 2: Yrs 2 & 3 Nottingham Soccer Stars coaching course at
Ellis Guilford School which began last Friday.
However he has now decided not to attend as he has also joined a local
team and he (and I!) are finding it too much to take him to 3 different
football sessions in one week.
He will rejoin in the summer when he no longer has matches on Sunday and
when the sessions start a bit later, if that’s OK. It’s very difficult
for me to leave work in time to get him there for 5 o’clock.
I’d just like to pass on my appreciation for the coaching delivered by
Justin – he’s a great coach and he’s brilliant with the kids and I hope
Jake is able to sign up for the summer sessions so that he can benefit
from being coached by him again.
Regards,
Mike
