Students train with Mariners

Students of the Umina Campus of Brisbane Water Secondary College met and trained with the Central Coast Mariners soccer team on May 30.

The 13 Mariners players attending included Tony Vidmar, John Hutchinson, Andrew Clark and Andre Gumprecht.

The students formed separate groups which were each led by two Mariners players through a variety of coaching drills and modified game formats.

Students were given the opportunity after the coaching exercises to put questions to and have their shirts signed by the players.

Teacher Mr Mark Rae said: "I apologise to all those parents who may have freaked out when they saw their sons and daughters coming into the house that afternoon with black ink all over their shirts."
