We are delighted to have @danielbowry8 as part of our post-16 programme at Volenti, working closely with players on our LNS programme.

Dan brings a powerful combination of professional playing experience and high-level coaching, which is evident in the way he communicates and the standards he sets every session.

“I strive to create a deep love for the game in every player. That comes from building an environment where passion, enjoyment and enthusiasm are at the heart of every session.”

A UEFA B licensed coach, Dan currently works at Charlton Athletic as their U9 Lead Academy Coach, delivering technical sessions and supporting player development within the Foundation Phase. Alongside this, he has played across a range of clubs and has represented Antigua and Barbuda internationally since 2018, giving him a genuine insight into what it takes to progress in the game.
