Both coaches have first aid as well as child protection and they will make sure all children will learn and enjoy playing football in a fun and safe environment.
 
Recently, Annemiek Vonk, joined the ESS to support and help Jeff and Luke to create, structure and realise ideas for future development of the ESS.
