Football Tour Osaka Japan

My name is Luke Nolan, and I am an FFA/AFC C-licensed coach who currently coaches U12 Boys SAP for Southern Branch as well as U13 Boys with Gerringong Breakers FC. In addition to that, I also am the Junior coaching coordinator for Gerringong Breakers FC, have coached an Illaroo FC Women's side and continue to coach various mini roos and pathways programs with SDFA throughout the Shoalhaven. I am very passionate about investing as much into the kids of the Illawarra/Shoalhaven as possible by striving to give them more access to better coaching. In October 2018, I have been invited along to assist with the coaching staff of a representative team with talented players from the Illawarra and South Coast as they head to Osaka, Japan. This two week tour is a tremendous opportunity for me to further my education and experience as a coach, as the teams we oversee will be training and playing against J-League sides such as Cerezo Osaka.  The knowledge I gain from this tour will not only benefit me as a coach long-term, but will also benefit the region as a whole, as I can share this experience and knowledge with other coaches and players to help improve the standard of youth development for our kids. While this Football Tour is an incredible opportunity, I need your help to raise funds to help cover the costs I will incur by taking part in the tour (flights, accomodation, meals, transport, touring gear etc). Any donation (no matter how big or small) will be a massive help. Every dollar will help. Yours in Football Luke.
