Advanced Coaching Courses

 

C DIPLOMA COURSES

Coaches at all levels play a crucial role in ensuring that football is an enjoyable experience for everyone, as well as laying the foundation for the development of better players. Delivered by Football Queensland’s Coach Education & Development team, our courses have been designed to support you in the role you have within football.

The focus of the required coaching competency on the ‘C’ Diploma is on the technical aspects of the game, which includes teaching the techniques of passing, receiving, striking the ball and running with the ball, along with defending techniques to regain possession. The required technical knowledge will be supported with an understanding of The Principles of Play and the fundamentals of coaching. Participants will be introduced to the concept of teaching behaviour in different types of practice methods as part of the education program, but also to provide insight into the ‘B’ Licence. The ‘C’ Diploma may be delivered in a variety of ways to suit local conditions, with a combination of on-line and or face to face contact over a period of several weeks or months.

The Football Australia ‘C’ Diploma is the first step on the Football Australia advanced pathway that is designed to help you become a better coach.
