Coach Support Events
Our coach support events aim to provide coaches with the support and knowledge to make them the best coaches they can be. Each of our events has its own specific focus such as technical components, the FA's 4 corner model or specialist events.
Here at the County FA, we acknowledge that changes to coach education have left coaches without face to face support. We want to invest our time and resources into filling this void to support the people that keep grassroots football going.
Coach support sessions are free workshops designed to help develop grassroots coaches knowledge and understanding of:
- The technical components of the games
- Principles of play
- The FA's 4 corner model
- New practice and session ideas
- Understand how to develop players
All Coach Support Workshops include practical coach observations of sessions delivered by England Football Coach Educators or professional coaches.
Check the 'Who is this event for' section of each event to see which level of coaching it is suitable for.
All the workshops are completely free. To register click the 'Book Your Place' button and complete the short registration form.
