Contribute towards funding my place on UEFA A Licence course

Hi, my name is Jordan Hayes and I am trying to raise money to fund my place on the first part of UEFA A course.

Many who know me will know that my passion is football and developing players in the game. I have completed various qualifications in various roles within the game. However, the UEFA A licence is one of the highest possible qualification outside the professional game (Pro Licence). It is an honour to have been accepted onto the course and I am delighted to be given this opportunity.

The cost of the course is £2,000 and I'm hoping to fund this myself with the help of friends, family, sponsors and through fundraising to ensure I can take my place on the course. This is an exciting opportunity that will help me to develop my own understanding of the game and in turn allow me to continue to develop players and pass on my knowledge across the various age groups that I coach.

Any help towards the costs would be much appreciated however big or small. The course will include both online learning and residentials at Queens sport, Belfast alongside some of the best young coaches in Europe. I'm hoping to learn and develop my understanding of the game and dedicate myself to complete the course, taking my coaching to the next level and ensure I become a UEFA A licenced coach.

Over the past few years I have managed to become a UEFA B coach, performance analysis whilst setting up 1-2-1 coaching to develop players even further, giving those youngsters the access to high quality sessions whilst encouraging talented footballers to express themselves at all levels.

It's been a rollercoaster of a journey for me personally. From starting out as my local boyhood club, processing into academies and establishing myself in England. Financially and mentally it has been a challenge with all the changes in the past 2 years. Those sacrifices are now baring fruit and I have been greatly fully accepted onto the course

Once, a little boy’s dream. Is now becoming a reality. I hope you will help share the moment with me as I dedicate my life to seeing players develop. Please help me raise some money so I can give those youngsters players the best opportunities in life to make it into the beautiful game.

Thank you for reading about my cause
