AGE APPROPRIATE COACHING - INTRODUCTORY MODULE
A six hour course aimed at those working with 5 – 11 year old players, who want to improve their knowledge and understanding of the ‘what’ and ‘how’ to coach players of this age. This new qualification is run by Football Association regional staff and will give candidates the most up-to-date coaching tools in working with possibly the most important age group in football.
It will include practical sessions as well as theory and group discussions. This builds on the candidates’ knowledge and acts as a stepping stone to the FA Youth Award Module 1 “Developing the Environment” and/ or the Level 2 Certificate in Coaching Football.
Minimum requirements: Candidates must be at least 16 years of age.

FA YOUTH AWARD
The FA has developed an exciting new range of youth coaching courses that are available now!
The innovative FA Youth Award is as much about the HOW of working with young player as the WHAT. It is the first course that considers where the child is developmentally (in the four corners of: physical, psychological, technical and social aspects). Then it packages football through a number of exciting new activities in such a way that the coaching "fits" the child and not the other way round.
This marks a progressive change in coaching philosophy, creating a truly player-centred approach to the coaching and development of our young players.
There are three modules:-
Module 1: Developing the Environment - further details below
Module 2: Developing the Practice - further details below
Module 3: Developing the Player - further details below
There is also a Frequently Asked Questions sheet which you can download from "Related Documents" on the right of this page.
Cost: £130 per Module
(Full terms & conditions are available from the contact below.)
