Following the success of the 2009 Grassroots Conference, The Gloucestershire FA are pleased to announce that they will be hosting the 2010 event at Hartpury College on Sunday 23rd May.

The day will provide local coaches and referees with an opportunity to attend interactive theory and practical workshops, on a range of coaching and refereeing topics, to aid their personal development in preparation for the 2010�/ 11 season. A question and answer session with a special guest panel has also been scheduled for delegates, providing an opportunity to ask questions on local and national football.

The 2010 Conference is set to be even bigger and better than last year's event, with the programme being based around feedback from the previous year. Last year's event was host to over 100 local coaches and referees from both adult and youth football, featuring The FA's Elite Coaching Manager Dick Bate and premiership referee Alan Wiley as guest speakers, and was a well received day for all delegates who attended.
