Jess began attending our Premier League Kicks session at Astrea Dearne in 2017. After finishing school Jess began volunteering with the younger groups as she took an interest in coaching and helping develop their skills. Putting in hours of voluntary work, Jess is always the first to arrive and last to leave while helping children out on a personal level by coaching them one to one. The impact she has had on sessions is unprecedented and feedback from participants return due to her support and guidance. She has become a popular member of the team with both staff and participants. She is now joining us as a casual Community Coach completing her FA Level One and working towards her further coaching qualifications.

Jess added, ‘I can’t believe I have been awarded the Community Captain award. I have loved being involved with Premier League Kicks both as a participant and volunteer and never expected to receive an award, I am really grateful to the team at Barnsley FC Community Trust for their continued support’
