Is this your dream job?

Imagine teaching football all week. Not a bad job if you are a teacher!
Imagine Coaching a National League side, throw in an FFA Scholarship which includes an annual trip overseas to find a mentor, National Under 14 Selector, and Assistant to the first Australian Under 14 team heading to Vietnam in June.

This is the life of Perth Glory W-League Coach Nicola Williams and she's just 26.

http://www.lynwood.wa.edu.au/ is where Nicola teaches; and check out Lynwood high School in West Australia. Itis one of five high schools in the West with a football program.

If you get into the football program you get to do 5 hours football a week in school time. That's more than Canberra's weekly Academy training program....in school time!

Time for Canberra to match or improve on the West? I'm sure we can. We just need a Public School with vision and energy.

Now anyone know a teacher in a High School with a passion for kids, education and football.
