COACHING
Club Coach Coordinator (CCC)
Player retention is vital to any sport and club and according to research from Football Federation Australia (FFA), one of the main reasons players leave football is poor coaching.
FFA’s Club Coach Coordinator (CCC) program has been developed to address this challenge and provide relevant and valued coach support in a club environment. Football Queensland encourages clubs to appoint a CCC to enhance the coaching and playing experience for all involved in their local club.
When appointing a CCC, consider someone who will take on the following responsibilities:
- Supporting a positive club coaching culture
- Working to actively recruit new coaches
- Mentoring and supporting club coaches
- Ensuring the coaches have access to learning opportunities and resources
