Coaching

Coaching

Nepean FA have a strong coach and player development focus.

We conduct all the FA Community Coach Education Courses within the Association area and conduct regular Coaching Certificates throughout the year.

Miniroos 

Aimed at volunteer parents and coaches working with novice players or players aged approximately up to ten (10) years old.
The session is entirely practical and encourages the coach to create games based on enjoyment. The focus is on learning by playing football. The secret to encouraging players to develop a love for the game without coaching is to organise enjoyable football activities.
The coaches’ exposure to fundamental game rules and guidance on creating an enjoyable and safe football environment. 

Foundation of Football 

Aimed at volunteer parents and coaches working with beginner players to competent level players ages 10+.
This course is a prerequisite for the C Diploma.
You will participate in practical sessions covering the basics of techniques as well as learning about basic playing principles of the game. The course is mostly practical and not graded, allowing the student to participate in the training sessions if they so choose. The course also promotes participating in group discussions with the goal of exchanging experiences.
