"There are currently six members of the youth team who have progressed through Colchester United Football in the Community activities which underpins our development pathway, and seeing some of those players supporting the activities they attended as young players was extremely rewarding."
"Their involvement adds real value to the participants experience whilst giving the scholars an opportunity to gain insight into coaching within their local community.
Corin Haines, Community Manager at Colchester United said: "On several occasions over the last year, our youth team scholars have been actively involved in our activities supporting the team of coaches in schools, Development Centres, and holiday activities. PFA Community Liaison Executive added: "
