The FIFA Coach Educators’ Development Pathway for Level 1 Coach Developers is coming to Auckland July 15-19. 

This is a five day on-site course in addition to online learning which will shift control of the learning to the coach educators themselves. 

The course is designed to enable Coach Developers to deliver on the OFC/NZF Advanced Coach pathway. For those who achieve the qualification, New Zealand Football deems them competent to be able to lead the OFC/NZF C licence and Junior Level 3.

Coaching is a significant pillar in the development of football in New Zealand. Coaches are critical in making the environment for our players one they want to come back to year after year. 

Helping our coaches grow and become even more capable is the role of the Coach Developer and as such their leadership is critical to the success of our game.

The FIFA Coach Educators’ Development Level One course is by application. We encourage anyone who is currently working as a community Coach Developer or who has a desire to improve their skills in the area of Coach Development to apply.

The course (including travel and accommodation where applicable) is free to successful candidates.
