Coaching Qualifications
Football is the fastest growing team sport in Australia for girls and boys with some clubs having in excess of 1,000 players registering each year.
Love Football believes that quality coaching is critical to the development of the game to improve the standard of players.
The coach is crucial to the development of the young player, and providing the very best coach education and coach development must be at the top of the priorities list for clubs and associations.
It is vital to have the right coaches working with the right young players in the right environment.
The balance between competition and training, between games and skill development, between football and non-football education are all part of creating the optimum environment to give the young player the best possible chance of succeeding.
Coach Education in Australia has a two-way pathway: Advanced Courses (AFC approved) and Community Courses.
