Ocean City FC took over gym class for the whole day as part of the promotion for the OCFC in the Community program.

Galloway Township Middle School pupils were surprised to see the Ocean City FC coaches (some of whom are coached by the Nor’easters cpaches with their local club) as they were not told before hand that the professional coaches would be there. The kids took part in a soccer specific gym class, coaches Dan Ash and Steve Thurlby took them through a quick skills session as they were hampered by the weather and forced to take the lesson into the gym, however, this didn’t take away from the enjoyment of the day. Coach Steve Thurlby said "We had a lot of fun with the kids, there are a lot of different personalities that we don’t see when we coach travel soccer so it was nice to give these kids some soccer fun." Coach Dan Ash agreed "Some of these kids rarely kick a ball and I enjoyed the challenge to make soccer fun and interesting to those guys."

Ocean City FC have to thank the Galloway Township Middle School gym teachers for allowing us to hijack their classes and show the non-soccer players how fun the game can be.

Ocean City FC can provide a number of different services such as coaching clinics, school assemblies, sport fun days, after school programs and many more. If you are interested in any of these services or require any further information about our work in the community please feel free to contact our Director of Coaching Leon Brown on 609-525-9999 or you can email him at lbrown@oceancityfc.com.
