Cumberland FA launched a Virtual Coaches Coffee Club in March 2020 to bring local Grassroots Football Coaches together online to keep in touch and offer a platform for Coaches to get their 'Football Fix' during these unprecedented times.

With the aim of having an online meeting each week with a different guest speaker, local Coaches can continue to connect during social distancing. 

Each week, the recording from the online chat will be uploaded in case any coaches were unable to get involved 'Live'.

Cumberland FA based Coaches can request an invitation - once you've shown an interest you will be invited to each session
