Liverpool FC football coach bringing community soccer school home to Skegness

Jack Walton is running a football camp for young people aged seven to 14 in the February half-term. It is aimed at both boys and girls and all players, including goalkeeper.

Along with Jack, this unique football programme is delivered by UEFA licensed coaches and industry professionals.

Promoted by Swifts JFC and Horncastle Town FC, they have partnered with local grassroots teams and professional organisations to offer different pathways into sport and beyond within Lincolnshire.

A former student at Skegness Academy, Jack’s love of football began when he played for Friskney Jets U12-U15.

"Once i'd finished my GCSE's, I continued into sixth form studying an extended diploma in Sport and Physical Activity, where I volunteered for around 18 months, receiving a Lincolnshire County Council Volunteer of the Month award,” he recalled.

“I made the decision to move to Manchester to pursue what I knew I would love and started in scouting and analysis working for a first-team in England and working remotely for a Spanish football club in the fourth tier.

"I very quickly found myself falling in love with coaching again, where I left my analysis role and joined Stockport County FC as a community coach and academy scout.

"This was primarily in my second year at university. I then went to the USA for 12 weeks with challenger sports coaching on their all NEW pro camps, before returning to to England for my final year of studies.

“I continued in these roles but also also managed the universities men's futsal team for around 14 months, progressing from a team of five players to 20+, creating two different teams and competing at high levels.

“Once my studies had finished, having received a first class honours I continued with Stockport County until I made the decision to study in Liverpool.

"I'm now studying my MSc in sport coaching and work in two separate roles for Liverpool F.C – my first being a casual community coaching role with LFC foundation and the other as a casual soccer school coach with LFC's International Academy.”
