Introducing PDCoaching - Bringing Footballing Opportunities To The East Manchester Area.

PDCoaching is a Beswick based football coaching project run by Paul Downing, a Beswick resident with a passion to start Beswick's first football club.

PDCoaching began in 2020 following Paul’s success running free online football fitness session for local young people during the lockdowns of COVID-19. Surprised by how many more people turned up online each week, Paul decided to start running his own outdoor football session alongside his busy job once restrictions eased, and now regularly sees up to 40 young people at each of his weekly sessions. Each session focuses on a different fundamental of the game in a fun, engaging environment before finishing with small sided football matches as an opportunity for the players to showcase their newly learnt skills.

PDCoaching offers pathways into grassroots football with his newly established grassroots football club, Beswick CFC. With a passion for football and his community, Paul also works hard to put pre-loved football boots back into the community through his 'Football Re-Booted' scheme.
