"I cant tell you how impressed I was with the students from the Academy, they were excellent and interacted with the year 2 students so well! I would defiantly like to continue the primary school coaching with our students. The experience and skills they gain from delivering sessions at a young age is invaluable, particularly for those who would like to peruse careers in teaching or coaching." Luke Ross, Manchester United Foundation Coach
"Please relay our delight to Mr Griffin about how well the pupils did, we honestly cant thank them enough they were SMASHING, we really couldn't have done it without there help!" Laura Cole-Clark, Manchester United Foundation Coach
"It improved my leadership skills, I enjoyed working with the little kids it was a good experience. It made me think about what sort of language I used with them so that they could understand the instructions." Emma Yates, Year 10 student
"I hope that I can do it again because I've never worked with kids properly before. To make them enjoy it we made jokes, shortened steps and made friendly gestures, they were so excited." Chelsea Brookes, Year 8 student
