Oxfordshire FA UEFA C and UEFA B Coach CPD Series
We are launching a series of three CPD events with the aim of supporting the development of coaches across Oxfordshire that hold their FA Level 2/UEFA C and UEFA B qualifications.
We would, however, also like to welcome any aspiring UEFA C coaches to attend for an opportunity to learn, network and prepare for making the next step in the future.
The three sessions will look at how you coach, and how it affects your players. Over the course of the series, we will look at how you coach in possession, out of possession and how the two can be combined within one practice. The workshops will look at how you may adapt your coaching sessions to challenge both your players, and yourself as a coach.
The series, delivered by the experienced UEFA C/B affiliate tutor Mark Haining, will provide coaches with an opportunity to learn and network with other coaches across Oxfordshire.
Whilst there are some links across the three workshops, you do not have to attend all three - you can attend as many or as few as you like.
