FA Youth Award
The FA has developed an exciting new range of youth coaching courses that are available now!
The innovative FA Youth Award is as much about the HOW of working with young player as the WHAT. It is the first course that considers where the child is developmentally (in the four corners of: physical, psychological, technical and social aspects). Then it packages football through a number of exciting new activities in such a way that the coaching "fits" the child and not the other way round.
This marks a progressive change in coaching philosophy, creating a truly player-centred approach to the coaching and development of our young players.
There are three modules:-
Module 1: Developing the Environment - further details below
(McDonalds sponsored in April 2010 - by invitation only to Charter Standard clubs)
Module 2: Developing the Practice - further details below
Module 3: Developing the Player - further details t.b.a.
There is also a Frequently Asked Questions sheet which you can download from "Related Documents" on the right of this page.
