Simon Merrick

Simon is a full time serving Police Officer in South Wales. He has taken time out of his busy work schedule to set up and coordinate a junior football team in Neath which he has run for the last 5 years. Simon also has a young family himself to take into consideration. He organises training and match schedules together with obtaining sponsors for kit and trophies. He always ensures that he attends every training session and match game even though he has heavy work commitments. The team is made up of children with varying abilities but he treats them all the same and encourages them to enjoy and have fun. He also encourages the parents to get involved so that they get to enjoy family time. Simon is also an ex international athlete who competed at the highest level. This enables him to bring his knowledge of health and fitness to these young children.
