BLACKHILLS CONNECTS WITH EPL CLUB BOLTON WANDERERS

EPL Botlon Wanderers develop coaches and player development relationship

" I am both delighted and excited about the prospect of taking the International Program into Blackhills FC and the Pacific Northwest which we know to be a hotbed of soccer activity.

 

Blackhills FC is an established and well run soccer club which obviously puts the needs of it's young and developing players first and foremost. They have been a pleasure to deal with so far and in my opinion have shown real insight and vision in recognising the long term benefits that such an association with the Bolton Wanderers International Soccer Schools can bring to their own player development processes and their wider soccer community.

 

We are looking forward immensely to visiting them in the near future and are relishing the opportunity to present and demonstrate our working methods and coaching philosophy and expose the young players and coaches of Olympia to the intensity and passion of the Premier League."

Mick Wild, Bolton Wanderers FC - ISS

 

Blackhills FC Technical Director James Charette is excited to announce a new partnership with Bolton Wanderers Football Club.    Blackhills FC is looking forward to a long lasting relationship with an emphasis on providing quality coaching education and player development methodologies for our members and our community.
 
Tim Sekerak, Blackhills FC President
I am excited to bring to my local community a world class opportunity with Bolton Wanderers FC of Bolton, England.  Soccer for many of us is more than a weekend activity, but is a passion that we feel connects us with the youth and adults on all the continents on the earth.  Fostering that passion and culture, no matter what your inherent talent or financial resources, is a mission of Blackhills FC and we see great promise in forging this connection with a club that has a 137 year history of success and love of the game.  The talents and skills of BWFC coaches and trainers will directly improve coaches and players in our club, but the longer term impact of developing international relationships with top quality programs will imbue confidence in all people connected with the sport in our community.

 

BWFC are sending two coaches to work with our coaches and players from June 9 - 12, 2011.
