The Level 1 Coaching Course has been designed by The FA as an introduction for all coaches, and is the perfect first step to becoming a recognised football coach.
This very popular qualification provides candidates with an opportunity to study and be assessed in both practical and theoretical aspects of coaching football. The FA Level 1 will run for 30 hours in total. This course is designed for candidates wishing to gain a basic appreciation of organising football, covering a number of topics including; warm up and cool down games, technical skills including passing, turning and shooting as well as game specific practices including attacking and defending. Also included in the course cost is an FA Safeguarding Children workshop and FA Emergency Aid workshop.
Urgent Coaching Course News
For many years now Oxfordshire FA have been able to access funding from the Learning Skills Council via the Abingdon and Witney College to be able to offer discounts on Coach Education courses for clubs and individuals, in some cases up to 50% off. Unfortunately we were advised through The Football Association that this funding was unlikely to be available from July 2010. Despite discussions with agencies such as the National Skills Academy for Sport and Active Leisure, part of the SkillsActive group, they have been unable to secure any guaranteed funding to allow us to offer such discounts beyond July 2010.
Whilst we will make every effort to keep the course prices as low as possible, we are potentially looking at post July 2010 course fees of £160 for the Level 1(current price £75.00 for adults, £45 for 16-18yrs).
Places are going fast, so to take full advantage of this great offer please book today.
