The FAW C Certificate has been designed for coaches who have completed the FAW Football Leaders Award and want to further improve their coaching knowledge and skills when supporting players within a practice.

It is designed to educate students in the technical, physical, psychological and social requirements of modern football. It will develop students’ ability to plan, prepare, deliver and reflect on coaching sessions for the development of players.

Students will be provided with a designated mentor to support their individual journey across the FAW C Certificate.

Students are required to attend a combination of practical and theory lectures, complete eLearning modules and distance learning tasks.

The Football Leaders Award will provide a basic and engaging introduction to the organisation of football practices in a fun, safe environment with an emphasis on engaging with the players of today.

The award provides learners with an opportunity to discover and consider the technical and social support that we, as coaches, can provide to our players, discussing various practical aspects. These include: the importance of area size, practice transitions, progressions and regressions, as well as ensuring the learner takes a closer look at themselves, their role as a coach, and how they currently share the messages they provide players.

This course is solely online, can be completed in your own time and will NOT require attendance at a Practical Day.
