Carol Fogarty 

(Volleyball Coach)

As a player, I was fortunate enough to play in the top national league in England for over 20 years as a setter (the person that puts the ball up in the air for others to hit) and learn from many very capable coaches.

Many years ago, I achieved a national ranking of 4th in the country as a beach volleyball player.

I have been privileged to share the court with, and compete against many Olympians, Commonwealth Games and National Squad players too.

Currently, I am the Chair of Farnborough Volleyball Club and coach junior beginners aged between 12 and 18 alongside adult squads.

In addition, I am involved as a coach of regional junior high-performance programmes which include the Thames Valley and South of England Squads who compete in National Junior Competitions.

My involvement locally as an Assistant Coach for a Boys U18 football team adds a different lens from which I can draw on.

Georgie Jackson

(Hockey Coach)

2006 - My first experience of coaching was when I played for Guildford back in 2006. Maggs Kyte was my first mentor, she pretty much still runs the junior side at Guildford HC. I gained my level 1 coaching certificate and assisted with the juniors for a couple of years. Medical stuff and a fragile pregnancy ensured a break from hockey, when I came back I chose to umpire the Surrey circuit and private schools for a number of years.

2013 - I started assisting Angie Cottee (EH coach of the year 2020 ( I think it was that yr)), at Fleet & Ewshot HC and at pre and after school clubs several times a week, when my daughter started playing. I gained my Level 2 certificate in 2019 and have since coached from U8-U16's and Ladies teams.

2023 - I started 'Sticks n Stuff' pre and after school club where I coach infant and junior schools.

2025 - I currently coach for Fleet & Ewshot HC Ladies 3's and Girls U12's, William Cobbett Junior school (morning club), Heatherside Junior School (after school club), Cambridge Junior School Yr 5 and 6, 2 classes a week and of course Farnborough 6th.
