After the success we have experienced over the past few years I am delighted to inform you that we now have an even more comprehensive range of courses on offer, covering football coaching, medical and safeguarding children. All of our courses are nationally accredited and upon successful completion, candidates will receive a certificate issued by 1st4sport, The FA’s accreditation body.
Our Coach Education programme has been designed to give all our football coaches, and potential football coaches, the necessary qualifications to develop their careers in football, and is part of The FA’s on-going national push to improve the quality and consistency of football coaching at all levels and disciplines throughout the UK. The FA have recently developed courses for coaches working with youths; Age Appropriate and Youth Awards Modules 1 and 2: details of these courses can be found later on in this section.
The Surrey County FA is continually trying to offer more opportunities for our coaches to learn and practice new skills and coaching techniques, which is why I am delighted that our partnership with the Surrey Football Coaches Association is stronger than ever. Qualifying in Surrey sees you become part of a coaching family that continues to support the coach whatever their ambitions. The Surrey Coaches Association is open to any of our course students to join and offers all of its member’s regular opportunities to gain first hand experience of some of the countries leading coaches delivering practical coaching demonstrations.
Our Football Development team has continued to grow from strength to strength and we now have an array of staff on hand to help clubs develop, help stimulate facility development, promote football, improve football in education, assist in volunteer development and much, much more, so if you need any help with any football-related issues then please don’t hesitate to contact any member of the team.
We look forward to working with you in 2010, in what we hope will be another great year for football in Surrey.
