Vinnie Hutchinson completed his Coerver Coaching Youth Diploma in Auckland beside Wellington Phoenix midfielder, Leo Bertos.

Northland teenager will feature among a trio of qualified coaches offering their expertise at a football skills session in Kaitaia tomorrow.

Vinnie Hutchinson completed his Coerver Coaching Youth Diploma alongside another Kaitaia football stalwart, John Hartnall, and the local pair will be joined by Vinnie's father Garth who has also been educated in the acclaimed International Coerver Coaching Method to provide expert coaching at the clinic.

It's been a whirlwind start to the year for 16-year-old Hutchinson.

The Year 13 Abundant Life student was the recipient of a scholarship to complete the two-day diploma through the Aotearoa Football Charitable Trust, and the Maori Football Association; graduating alongside Hartnall and Wellington Phoenix/All Whites player Leo Bertos, who is planning to open a Coerver Coaching Academy in Wellington this year.

Hutchinson also represented Northland at a major youth and sports conference in New Caledonia in December.
