Martin Coombe
Vice President
I have been coaching for 10 years with SWYSC with all age groups from U6 up to U13. Recent former Director of Coaching for SWYSC for the last few years. I managed an indoor soccer scrimmage program for kids for 5 years with SW Parks and Rec. Originally from the UK, so Association Football has been a passion since the day I started walking. I love the game at all levels, but coaching then watching kids play and have fun has been the most positive of experiences.
