The closest capital to me is Brisbane and the B licence starts in late January each year and I work in a College so the timing is rotten. All staff are back the same week as the first 6 days of the course but you are absolutely correct that it is a much cheaper option.

I'm currently doing my regional B licence in Sydney and it was only about $2400. Going to Canberra is a lot of money. Is there a regional B licence course you could do?

I am pencilled in for the B Licence in Canberra in October but I have worked out that it is going to cost me a minimum of $4,310. Is there a better way I could spend that money if I am not too worried about the actual licence part but more interested in learning as much as I can and if so, what?

bad new s old chap

AFC Courses

As per equivalent level
You will be required to submit your certificate to FA Education. Once this has been received the home association will be contacted to confirm validity.

which is quite amusing having attended CPD events with UEFA 'A' tutors.

Periodisation is fantastic though. The difference it makes in the performance of a team is incredible.

Does anyone know what the situation is in regards to transferring a coaching licence to England?

I have my Level 2 in England (C Licence). I shall be living in Australia for a few years and plan on taking my B licence in Australia, can this be transferred over to Uefa if I move back to England so I could go straight for my Uefa A or will I have to take the B course again back in England because they do not recognise the Australian B licence?

Thanks for any help

How many words and whats it all about?

Found the Periodisation a pain when I did it.

In the A Licence the mini-thesis was arduous.

Theyre learning about the game. You dont put them in 442 structures etc but you give them roles and you alternate to learn about the game.

Ages 9-12 in SAP. Why?

Where do you think they start learning the structures of the game.

I enjoy working on the structure of the team - playing as a team. Coaching Miniroos is skills based.

Why is that?

I've never coached kids that young and to be honest I don't think I'd do it well. Very different set of skills to coaching 13's, 14's, 15's, 16's and 18's (which is what I've coached).

Motivation, competitive attitude and determined aggression is something you can't teach. As a coach, you have to find ways that work for certain types of players. I've been coaching for 4 years and when I first started I expected every player to be highly motivated. Definitely not true but as a coach, you need to find out what makes your players tick.

The way they structure kids education is fantastic. Engagement. The key word. It's amazing.

just a skills acquisition workshop.

Im not too impressed with the trainer nor the fact that the same old coaches with the same old attitudes are still in control of football. Just parrots if you ask me.
signed up to get fresh ideas.
what i realy want to know about is motivation, competitive attitude and determined aggression. development.

What course? I'm currently doing the B licence at FNSW.

Just signed up for another coaching course. they are a good thing everyone should do them but from what i have seen it wont make a good coach from a bad one. JMO

Awesome. What did they go through and what did you learn?

Grassroots discovery phase. 3-9 year olds. FFV sanctioned.

Never heard of it. Is that the official name?

Just completed a MiniRoos course. Very interesting and informative.

Southampton academy documentary

Good documentary on Southamptons academy, also the website its from isa really goodsource for articles and videos.

I was going to attend the C Licence and do the Youth content in Canberra. However, we have a big club Gala Day on the 13th, which clashes with the Canberra C Licence.

I've only done the senior C Licence as the youth component wasn't available earlier this year. The new youth Regional C Licence course clashes with social events.:cry:

There's a lady called Tricia at FNSW - find her email and ask her to put you on the email list for coaching courses. She emails the people on her list information every time something comes up.

God, FNSW organizes coach education poorly, I would have definitely gone to that one if I knew it was on.

I'm attending the Senior and Youth C License in Sutherland from Saturday. Anyone here attending?

Ok thanks mate, i just realised this after going through this thread earlier i actually wonder why its taken so long anyway lol.
