Game Principles And Understanding (Female coaches only)
Game Principles and Understanding (Women's Coach Development Group)
Our Game Principles and Understanding workshop is focused around how you as a coach can support individuals and your team in understanding football as an invasion game. Football is a directional sport and it’s all about scoring and stopping goals. Through this workshop you will better understand the fundamentals of football and how to get the best out of your players to break and score and get back to defend! All learnings will be grounded in the S.T.E.P principle (Space, Task, Equipment and Players).
This event is for female coaches only.

If you're an FA Level 1 or 2 learner, continuous professional development hours are optional and so there is no longer a requirement for licensing.
If you're a UEFA qualified coach, however, you are required to complete 15 hours of CPD every three years to maintain your licence, which The FA recommends is best achieved by completing 5 hours per season.
