Pat Bonner and Stig Inge Bjornebye are among the line-up of guest speakers at this year’s Club Together Conference at Hampden on Sunday, 18th August.
The annual event provides those involved in grassroots football with valuable information on how to develop the game. Pat, who had an illustrious career with Celtic and Republic of Ireland, is now a UEFA technical instructor.
He will present on goalkeeping coaching methods. Stig, who has played at the highest level with Liverpool and Norway, is now a development manager for youth football at the Norwegian Football Federation.
He will be joined by colleague and director of grassroots football, Alf Hansen, to provide an insight into the success of their grassroots football programme. This will include a presentation on their community club environment and philosophy for developing young players.
In addition, there will be a host of workshops with specialist presenters on the following areas:
From Club to Hub – A focus on developing facilities and improving access in partnership with other parties.
Growing Your Membership – Providing examples and ideas on how to grow and develop your club.
