Meet the coach: Kate Gumm
Kate is a UEFA B (Level 3) licenced coach who has been involved with football either as a player or a coach since she was 5 years old. As a player she was selected for England Youth camps, and aged just 16, played in the top women’s football league in England for Bristol Rovers, even featuring in a FA Cup semi-finals.
As a coach she has worked with players of all ages and genders, including Assistant Coach for Swindon Town Women (in Tier 3 of the women’s football pyramid) and most recently for Forest Green Rovers boys’ and girls’ academies.
