Looking to coach ?

Post by SANTOS »

Just wondering how to get my coaching certificate , I have played soccer local for 22 years and due to injuries would like to coach . I heard that if you have played you dont need to get the junior cetificate is this true? ,If so when is the youth coaching clinics on?
Can someone help?

i think you need to play something like 200+ senior games...i stand to be corrected. to get the junior lisence.
youth lisences are usually held around october.
you can check the ffsa website for the coaching courses available.

Matey, sit for your badges - it's a good experience.

That said, yeah, check with FFSA.

I believe if you play A League / NSL you also get junior lisence.

I still dont understand why you need less qualifications to coach children than seniors.
