Senior Licence Coaching Course – January 2010

November 18th, 2009

Northern NSW Football will be conducting a Senior Licence Coaching Course in January 2010.

 

This course is based on the new Community Coach Education Syllabus and will be the first of the new courses to be delivered in Northern NSW.

 

The course targets coaches who are coaching at adult level (over 17).

 

Under the new system, a coach simply has to know what age-group he or she is coaching and apply for the appropriate age-specific course.

 

Furthermore, the Youth and Senior courses have been divided into two parts. The content has been designed specifically so that a coach at the grassroots level can attend just the first part and have the basic understanding of how to work with his/her players.

 

Coaches who go on and attend the second part will have a greater understanding.

 

Both parts are attendance-only, non assessment courses.

 

To gain a Licence, after attending both parts, a coach must request and pass an assessment.

 

In Armidale both Senior Certificate 1 and 2 will be delivered, for those living outside of the area, accommodation packages are available at the University of New England complex.

 

Head of Community Football Education, Norm Boardman, will be in attendance for the duration of the course.

 

Senior Football Certificate I

Dates: Friday, 8th of January 2010

Times: 9am to 5pm each day

Venue: Armidale, Sport UNE Fields

Cost: $70.00

 

Senior Football Certificate II
