Coaching

Coaches play a key role in introducing and developing players to the world game. Football West aims to ensure that every coach in WA has access to coach education opportunities and that coaches at all levels are appropriately accredited for the task.

There are two coach education pathways for aspiring coaches to choose from - the Community Pathway or the Advanced Pathway

Community	Advanced
Shorter duration	From 2 to 4 weeks in length
Less expensive	Intensive, residential courses
Conducted locally by States and territories	Conducted by FFA at the Australian Institute of Sport

Community coaching course prices 2011

Prices for 2011 courses will be published soon.

If you require any further information in regards to any coaching programs launched or developed by Football West or FFA, or if your club is interested in hosting a coaching course please contact Andrew Bettell (08) 9422 6902 or email andrew.bettell@footballwest.com.au

Coach Education is a key component of FFA’s Football Development Plan.

Coaches at all levels play a crucial role in ensuring that football is an enjoyable experience for everyone, as well as laying the foundation for the development of better players.

Footballers can be divided into two streams: those that are playing for fun, and those that are playing to reach the highest level possible. These are often referred to as ‘participation’ and ‘performance’.

In Australia, we have labelled these two streams ‘Community Players’ and ‘Talented Players’

To reflect the two streams and better meet their differing needs, our Education Programs have also been divided into two pathways:

• Community, and
• Advanced

The Community Courses are short, cheap and locally available courses for those coaching local amateur teams.

The Advanced Courses are long, intensive courses aimed at those who intend to become Professional Coaches.

South Perth FC have a number of sponsorship opportunities available for the 2011 season and beyond. There has never been a better time to partner with the only truly world game, and the biggest field-based participation sport in Australia.
