FIFA Instructors course IWBSA's Luke Kerr completes his second FIFA Instructors course. Luke Kerr is one in only a handful of people across the globe to have taken the FIFA Beach Soccer Instructor’s course not once but twice and recently flew out to Dubai for the World Cup to be part of a technical team of world beach soccer specialists. “I learnt a huge amount once again” Luke said “Being involved with a variety of International coaches and players, such as Amarelle, can only help us take the game forward in England” “Taking my second FIFA instructors course has helped me develop my skills as a coach in both Football, Fustal and Beach Soccer, everything I have learnt and been able to share with other global coaches during my time in Dubai has been priceless. During his week in Dubai Luke was put into a working group which consisted of former world football stars Mark Williams the former South Africa captain and Brazilian star Roberto "Beto" Callacino, as a group they would perform daily coaching tasks set by FIFA and deliver them to the rest of the course as part of the assessment process.

| Isle of Wight v Jersey (07-Sep-2009 ) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Isle of Wight 3 v 4 Jersey JERSEY’S beach soccer team beat an Isle of Wight side featuring three England representatives 4-3 to win The Sands Trophy last weekend. Playing on the Isle of Wight, the home side took the lead with a rocket shot from inside their own half by Caymen Collins but Jersey soon equalised with neat play by Kieron Walker. A stunning overhead bicycle kick by England international Matt Evans put the Isle of Wight ahead once more but in the second phase Jersey started to dominate with Neil Crowell’s tireless running exploiting space for Jersey’s midfielders while Calvin Ecobichan-Gray secured the back. Luc Le Miere was unlucky not to score, with a header and penalty kick failing to find the goal, and Will Partington failed to convert his chance but Crowell found the equaliser when he turned and shot wide of the keeper. Jersey carried this momentum on with Le Miere scoring a brace thanks to a volley and a useful run and finish and although the Isle of Wight scored late on, Jersey held on to win 4-3.

| Beach Soccer Review 2008 (09-Oct-2008 ) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Beach Soccer Review 2008 – A Year to Remember!

All in all a very successful beach soccer year. And once again it was the Isle of Wight who was playing a huge part in all of this at the fore front of the game, however here on the golden sands of Ryde it was beach soccer as usual with the local clubs battling it out to become IWBSA Beach Soccer League Champions. Team of the year had to go to The Bees who won every trophy going for the first time ever, the clean sweep saw them win the National tour, the Hampshire Cup and win back the IOW Beach Soccer League title from The Wight Stripes who this year finished 3rd, the Bees in fact only lost one League game all season and that was to only fierce rivals Sandown Sociedad mid way through the season. IWBSA Top Goal Scorer went to Darren Powell of the Wight Stripes with him also picking up the Leagues MVP Most valuable player; his form saw him win 2 England caps earlier in the season. Best New club went to Appley All-Stars, the young side all under eighteen made up of local Ryde players saw them become a force over the season finishing 4th and making the Semi final of the Hampshire Cup, next year sees them join forces with Sandown Sociedad to become a real contender on the National tour and IWBSA League. Best Young Player went to Josh Younie and Levi Collins of Appley All Stars, Best Goal Keeper went to Sam Sheppard of Ryde Sandblasters with Manager of the Year going to young Adam Squibb also of Appley All Stars. Ryde will be the Venue for next years beach soccer championships with the Isle of Wight forming a representative side to play Jersey in a Tri Series with an International side making up the 3rd team.
