Expired GIS: FUN-damentals of Junior Coaching – Gisborne Thistle AFC

The Fun-damentals of Junior Coaching Award is for Team Leaders working with 4-9 year old players. Leading a team of 4-9 year olds is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. You can foster a lifelong love of the game and provide a foundation of skill and movement development for the next generation of players. Often in this age group, our Team Leaders wear many hats, acting as coaches, referees and chief fun officers! This course will provide valuable information on how to juggle the demands of training and Game Day and get the best out of this exciting age group.
