Meet The Team

Epping Forest Sportability Club currently has one highly qualified sports coach and three assistant coaches, as well as a number of volunteers. All staff and volunteers are DBS checked. Any qualified coaches looking for a bit of work on a Saturday teaching multi sports please do contact us.

Alan Prentice, Head Coach

Alan has worked in sport for over 20 years, working with a variety of agencies.

His sports life started in football with Leyton Orient where he worked as a community coach back in 1992. He then went on to work for a number of other football clubs at community and Academy Level.

Disability sport started for him in 2001 when he supported a multi sport program that was set up by Uttlesford District Council.

In 2005, he was appointed Head Coach of Epping Forest Sportability Club and in 2006 he worked on a disability football program for Harlow Council.

Since 2007, he has supported a number of Harlow schools with their PE and after school clubs.

Andy Cobb, Club Treasurer

Andy has been associated with the club since its formation in 2005; firstly as a parent of a member, then as a parent helper.

Since 2011, Andy was initially the Secretary of the the club but has now moved on (officially) to the Treasurer role.

This involves all aspects of administration, ranging from sorting out club insurance and organising club trips, to sourcing funding for the club and managing the design and build of the EFSC website.

Assistant Coaches

Ray has been an assistant coach for a number of years now.

He is heavily involved in many groups locally, including the local PHAB club and the local rotary group.

He leads all the warm-ups each week and is Alan's right hand man when it comes to running sessions.

Ollie is one of our success stories, a member of the club since the early days and now he comes and helps the younger members during the sessions.
