Alan Forwood

Hello and welcome, my name is Alan Forwood.

I have played football for as long as I can remember, it has been a huge part of my life. Playing football has allowed me to develop important life skills and respect for others. Now being a football coach I am glad to be able to give something back to the game and coach the children of today.

As a football coach I believe that it is integral to ensure that football is open and inclusive to all children and each child is catered for as an individual, so that their development as a player and person can take its full potential.

Football can give every child a fun, positive and social experience where they can build relationships that could last a lifetime and kick start a healthy, active lifestyle.

Here at Active Soccer we can safely say that we offer a fun, inclusive and healthy experience where you can meet new friends, learn new skills and have a great time

Lincoln City FM and County U18’s role for Alan

Lincoln City FM and County U18’s role for Alan

Alan Forwood has been busy developing his role within the Lincoln Sporting Community.

Last week Alan was invited as a special guest on Lincoln City FM where he was asked various questions by DJ Roger Hobby about the launch of active soccer Lincoln. Amongst the answers Alan gave throughout the interview he talked about his commitment to improving the level of sport provided throughout the county and his hopes of making more children live a healthy and active lifestyle. Such was the success of the interview and Lincoln City FM's support of active soccer Lincoln they have agreed to run weekly radio adverts on the 'through noon' show between 11am -2pm on 103.6fm to help promote future courses and events.

After the radio interview Alan was shortlisted for the Lincolnshire School's County Football U'18's Managers role and later that day found out that he is now the 'new' manager for the forthcoming season.

"I am looking forward to starting my new role under the LSFA in September. I was lucky enough at the age of 18 to be selected for this representative squad which gave me a wealth of experience both on and off the field, now i am delighted that i have the opportunity to coach at this standard and give something back to the LSFA"

Congratulations on two great pieces of news for active soccer Lincoln.
