Soccer In St Martin
Posted by: Coach (46.7.49.---)

Are there any soccer academys in St Martin that employ coaches? I am an EU based professionally trained coach, looking for a youth academy to coach in. Either short or long term contract.

I coach kids aged anywhere from 6-14 currently. Looking for a new experience!

Thanks

the answer is basically no. while soccer is popular here, there are no academies and everything is done on a volunteer basis.
That is at least on the Dutch side. I am not sure about the french side.
maybe Philippe would know?

I think "Soccer" (actually since it is REALLY called "Football" let's call it that way) football is being played popularly on the French side for sure!
We have Football School and official Club licensed by the FFF:

"La Juventus de St Martin":

I have no direct info about, but I know there are also several other (less official) Football Clubs... the FC Concordia, the F.C. DE MARIGOT (CHEZ MR GOFFIN FABIEN 105 RUE DE LA BAIE NETTLE ST MARTIN 97150 SAINT-MARTIN), also the ALLIANCE FOOTBALL-CLUB (Angelo-Marbre, Howel Center, B.P. 3047, 97150 Saint Martin)

Kind Regards,
Philippe

Thanks for the help guys!

Will look into those links and see if i can get in contact with any academys. I wouldn't be against volunteering at a club if accommodation was provided for me, at least for a short term 3-5 months.

I am looking for a new coaching experience and adventure. St Martin has been a dream destination for quite some time!

Appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge with me!

Hello again Phillipe,

Sorry to drag up this old post but do you have an email contact for the official Saint Martin Football Association? I would like to contact them and ask if there is any position I can help out with.

I will coaching in America this summer and then after that I am seeking coaching elsewhere. I will happily work on a voluntary basis in exchange for the association/academy/club providing accommodation. I'm trying to fill the gap in my calender productively.

Thank You
