The resounding success of our watch party for the Irish Women's National Team during the World Cup in Australia was nothing short of exhilarating! The atmosphere was electrifying as players and coaches came together to support our national team on their first EVER World Cup. The event not only celebrated the remarkable achievements of our team but also showcased the power of sport to bring people together.  Our club takes immense pride in hosting events promoting community and passion for the beautiful game. We are grateful to all the enthusiastic fans and dedicated volunteers who contributed to the event's success. Here's to more unforgettable moments and future watch parties that bring us all together to celebrate the spirit of sport!


WELCOME: We are delighted to extend a warm and hearty welcome to our newest committee member, Keith Skelly! His decision to join our team brings fresh energy and ideas to the table, and we are thrilled to have him on board. We look forward to collaborating with Keith and leveraging his skills and expertise to positively impact the growth and development of our club. Let's create a stronger and more vibrant community for all our members. Once again, welcome, Keith, and thank you for being an essential part of our team!


We are thrilled to announce the successful implementation of our club's inaugural in-house Player Development Program (PDP1) Coaching Course! This milestone event marks a significant step in our commitment to fostering excellence in coaching and player development within our organization.
Our dedicated coaches underwent specialized training throughout the course, gaining invaluable insights into age-appropriate coaching methodologies, player psychology, and effective communication strategies. The interactive and hands-on nature of the program allowed coaches to refine their coaching techniques and tailor their approach to suit each player's unique needs. With the successful completion of PDP1, our coaching staff is now better equipped to inspire and nurture the talents of our young athletes, fostering an environment of growth and skill enhancement. We are incredibly proud of our coaches' dedication and enthusiasm and are excited about this course's positive impact on our club's future. This is just the beginning of our commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in player development, and we look forward to even greater achievements ahead.

Welcome Mal Watson Senior Coach Director and Player DevelopmentProsperous Utd AFC

10/11/2022

 

Prosperous Utd has appointed Mal Watson as Senior Coach Director and Player Development at Prosperous Utd AFC. Mal Watson is a UEFA qualified coach and has coached for many years at various football clubs around Ireland but has spent the last six years coaching at grass root premier level at Cherry Orchard. Cherry Orchard is a highly decorated club and the only club in Ireland to win the Milk Cup (Super Cup NI) and as a club has developed the most International Players, most recently known Nathan Collins.
 
“Coaching is an incredible privilege to help players achieve their potential both as people and as players” says Mal.
 
In his first year Mal coached his team to win Cherry Orchard’s first league treble since its establishment in 1957. Eight of his Mal’s team also achieved representative squads for Dublin. Mal has also developed many players at Cherry Orchard on to professional level.
 
“You must first earn a players trust, they must trust that you will put in as much work as they will, treat players with respect, build their confidence and allow them to make mistakes, give them responsibility, encourage match realistic tempo and most importantly let them play.”
 
With regard to his role of helping coaches coach, Mal had this to say.
 
“Shared knowledge is crucial to the development of coaches which in turn develops players but it is also a must that coaches keep learning and completing courses with the FAI, at Grass Root level the courses aren’t that expensive and they don’t involve mountains of time. In my previous role as Manager and Coach knowledge was willingly shared with me. Mentors have played a vital role in my coaching life and given me a completely different perspective. I’ve been lucky enough to have had the likes of Terry Carroll, Paul Somers and UEFA Pro licence coach Aaron Callaghan as mentors. These mentors also made it possible for me also to have teachings from Eddie Van Schaick in charge of Youth Development at Ajax and Nick Marshall head of Academy football operations at Liverpool.
​The same common thread runs through this exceptional coaches and mentors, transferable game realistic football practices. It will be my goal at Prosperous to make sure coaches develop with the end goal of developing players at Prosperous to an exceptional standard. All it needs is the will and we need more volunteers at the club. Help will be provided to any volunteer willing to get involved no matter how little time you can offer, we will help you achieve FAI licensing and all it takes is 2-3 hours a week and what a difference it would make to your community and you too could play your part in the development of the players here at the club. Get involved."
