The education of coaches has a major impact on the quality of football in Australia. By educating coaches, we are striving to ensure that not only players of all levels, but also coaches of all levels enjoy quality football experiences that will grow their love of football and make them lifelong members of the football family. As a result, football as a whole will be better.
\nWhat are these courses?<\/p>\n

The Grassroots Coaching Certificate is a three hour course aimed at beginner coaches and teachers of players up to 10 years of age. It is designed to give them a basic understanding of their role and to provide them with practical ideas for training sessions.<\/p>\n

The OPTUS Small-Sided Football Instructing Referee Accreditation is a one and a half hour course designed to train children aged between 12-14yrs to manage and control under 9 & under 10 OSSF matches. With this accreditation they will be eligible to receive payment for refereeing these matches under the official Northern NSW Football Match Official Payment structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
