Providing our club coaches with the appropriate skills and knowledge through the provision of training courses for both football specific coaching and also broader player management.
Coaches are a key point of contact for skill and game development knowledge for players, particularly a club’s junior players. It is vital that they are provided with the appropriate support and are given every opportunity to develop their own skills and knowledge of the sport. This will make a coach more confident in their role and enable them to have the desired impact on players.
