DYCE DUO GET THEIR AWARDS

200 Hours Award of Excellence  

Liam Barclay and Kevin Henry

Dyce BC Under 11 Coaches Liam Barclay and Kevin Henry were presented with their 200 Hours Award of Excellence as part of the Millennium Volunteer Awards Scheme in the Aberdeen Art Gallery. The awards were presented by Radio Northsound DJ Cammy. 

The MV Awards are given to young people between the ages of 16 and 25 who have volunteered their time to help others and in doing so made their community all that more richer. Certificates are presented at 50 hours , 100 hours and culminate in the award of Excellence for 200 hours . The Award of Excellence certificate is signed by First Minister Jack McConnell.

Liam and Kevin received all three certificates at the ceremony having been working with Dyce's younger age group teams for the last two years. In nominating them club leader Eric Mannall said.

Both of the Liam and Kevin played for Dyce Boys Club from the age of seven (season 1996/97) and have won various individual awards at Dyce. Both are now too old for Dyce BC but are  still involved in playing Saturday football for adult teams

Three years ago both came along to our outdoor summer coaching for boys aged 5 – 8 (April to September) and enjoyed it so much that they were invited to help coach the 8’s indoors at Dyce Academy over the winter.

Last season both became co-managers along with myself, at the 9’s and this season they have been more heavily involved doing the vast majority of the coaching for this team and setting up nets, selecting the team, etc on match days.

Both of the lads have built up a great rapport with the boys and parents of the 9’s and show maturity well beyond their years.   They are always at training and have never missed a game in the past two seasons.   They attend Dyce Boys Club monthly meetings (which has given them a new insight into football and the workings of a club committee) and have been actively involved in various fundraising activities for the club.

On average the boys devote 6-8 hours per week of their time to the Club. This involves training sessions midweek and coaching and organising the team on match days. To enable to coach the players they have both undertaken the SFA Coaching Courses and Sports Injuries First Aid Courses

They both hold SFA Early Touches Coaching Certificates and First Aid Certificates.
