Get to know the coach is back! We feel that it is important for parents to know a little bit about the coaches that the children come in contact with.
This week, our focus is on our very own Liverpudlian, Eamon Buhalfaia!

Why did you become a sports coach? Because I’ve always had lots of energy, I thought I would do something to channel that energy. I also enjoy participating and coaching a variety of sports. Most importantly I am passionate about shaping children’s experiences in sport and PE through fun and learning.
