The event was aimed at sharing skills and knowledge from Manchester City community coaches with young leaders, coaches, charities, and volunteers.
The course is designed to empower coaches to use football as a tool for promoting healthier lives among city youth, through a combination of practical sessions and workshops.
More on our 2024/25 Trophy TourDuring the event, our cameras focused on one participant’s journey – Sena Yamamoto, a volunteer at YouMeWe.
Sena is a former soccer player from Fujieda and Shizouka and now volunteers at YouMeWe, a Tokyo-based non-profit dedicated to supporting students from institutionalised homes.
Through his volunteering at YouMeWe, Yamamoto coaches high school and pre-school children in the Tokyo Kanagawa region.
Whilst participating at the Coach Education Day, Yamamoto explained his role in using football to benefit children and young teens in Tokyo and how the training on offer from City has supported him and his ambition to become a community coach.
