Coaching Courses

[grumbly]

My son wants to learn how to be a coach, starting with juniors (he is one himself) then working uo to being a goalkeeper coach.

I just checked on the FFSA site, which directs you to the FFA site where it informs you no courses are scheduled for SA.
Any ideas/ suggestions on where to look next? He's pretty keen, so don't want him to miss out and give up.

Cheers

Email the FFSA to ask when the next junior licence course is, (I assume in the off season), and ask if there is an age restriction (depending on the age of your son)

Then next year Youth Licence, etc, etc

Tried that Zeljko

Unfortunately FFSA seem reluctant to respond. Even when following links you end up on FFA page, where there are no courses scheduled for SA. None for anything...no wonder we get left behind.

Surely someone on here has some information they could share, or a contact that could help out...

Talk to your club. The FFSA schedule courses when they have enough numbers, and they can run it at your club.
