Coaches

Coaches from Arsenal

THE BREWSTER TRUST is a partner of Arsenal FC and the Gap Year Programmes 2010 to 2013. Nathaniel P. Brewster, Vice-President and co-founder of THE BREWSTER TRUST said: “The development of sports based social inclusion initiatives has been last but not least the driver to step in and support the [Gap Year] programme. One approach of our Charity is to have qualified and experienced people who are dedicated to football and are willing to share their know-how.” The Arsenal coaches in Barbados are Dana Podmolikova, Niall Conwell, Cedric Johnson and Jamie Hunter from January to April and Cheryl Barthelmy, Nick McCabe, Basil Martin and Ben Kemplen from April to July who are all staying with guest families.
