Upcoming CPD events for coaches
Following on from the huge success of last year's Spring Series and Autumn Series, which saw over 200 coaches from across the county attend a CPD event for coaches, we are once again delivering free coaching workshops this spring.
The sessions are for anyone involved in football and are designed to support you to develop your skills as a coach and help your players improve.
Spring Series
Our Spring Series consists of three coaching workshops, each with its own technical focus. The sessions aim to develop your understanding of the topic in focus by observing practical sessions, exploring sessions ideas and gaining an understanding on how to develop your players.
The sessions are open to coaches of all levels, but particularly to new coaches who have recently completed the EE Playmaker and Level 1 Introduction to Coaching Football course.
All events are delivered by FA coach educators, who are experts in supporting coaches of all levels.
