Capital Football are delighted to announce that the August winner for the Capital Chemist Volunteer of the Month is Atticus Jackson.

Atticus has just turned 14. He has been volunteering alongside his Mum for three years now coaching. He has progressed from assistant coach to co-coach over the years. He now does everything from planning training sessions to developing the line up each week.

The team are a GU12 WVSC team who benefit from his technical skills, his easy manner and his ability to push them just enough in a friendly older brother manner.

In addition to schoolwork, Mini-Vinnies volunteering at school, his own soccer commitments and the paid roles of set up crew and PeeWee Mentor, Atticus volunteers’ countless hours across the season.

He is an outstanding coach, loved by players and parents alike. The WVSC community know him well, he is always willing to give a helping hand be it club working bees, on the BBQ or at pack up if he has a bye and is available. Atticus is a great example of a teen volunteer

Congratulations to Atticus on winning the award.
