The FA Youth Award

This brand new qualification, which forms the first of three parts of The FA Youth Qualification, is a critical tool to support coaches working with young players and is an innovative qualification devised by The Football Association to further support the development of young players in England.

It is the first course that looks at the child and where they are developmentally (separated in four areas - physical, psychological, technical and social aspects) and then packages football through a number of exciting new activities in such a way that it "fits" the child and not the other way round.


Module 1: 'Developing the Environment' – available now. (Please note that this is a Four Day Course).

Our next course -

17th / 18th / 24th and 25th July 2010 (9am to 4.30pm each day)at Oxcroft Miners Welfare Social.
