FA Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Football

Calling all you budding football coaches; Paul is looking to run another FA Level 1 Certificate in coaching course again at the beginning of next year with the Dorset FA. Once again there will be funding available to cover course costs and it will be run from the Community Center. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who would like to learn more about grass root football coaching who is linked to either the junior or senior clubs. Anyone else interested from Maiden Newton or Cattistock may qualify, but please speak to Paul to check.

As a level 1 coach you will start to consider the Technical, Physical, Social and Psychological development of your coaching. Details on the course can be found here Level 1 coaching. This is a great course which can be a lot of fun and will give the confidence to start coaching, even if it is just in the back garden!

Please contact Paul V or email the club (mnjfclub@gmail.com) now for more information about how to sign up. This will probably be the last time it can be run with funding... Don't miss out as places will be limited!
