Team Coaches

Since its formation in 1993 Falkirk have made a concerted effort to use the expertise and experience within the club for its coaches. Senior players (and sometimes youth players) are encouraged to go through SFA Coach Education Courses and to then put those certificates into practice through working with the youth teams. Parents are not exempt from this friendly pressure either as a steady source of coaching staff has emerged from the player’s parents.

Currently the club has 9 main coaches working with the 5age group teams.

Fiona is one of our founder members as she started aged 10 in our very first Under-13 team back in 1993. Lauren, Lyndsay, Angela and Linzi are members of our Senior and 17s teams respectively.

Alan Palmer has coached with many womens teams - most recently he coached Newburgh Ladies for many years including their run in the Premier League.

Alison is a founder member of the club and was instrumental in its creation back in 1993. Over the past 15 years she has coached every age group and watched the girls move up through the age groups and onto International duty.

Annmarie is a former player and has played for teams such as Spartan Ladies and Stewarton which then became Clyde Ladies. She only began coaching when Falkirk formed a second U15 team back in 2007.
