Junior Licence

Course information:

This fourteen (14) hour course is designed to help those coaches who are training 8 – 11 year old players and will provide ideas on how to create a positive learning environment for the players.

As the field sizes/number of players increase slightly so do the challenges for our youngsters, for example; passing, controlling the ball, movement and decision making.

The coach at this level is encouraged to conduct meaningful training sessions that will help develop the
players’ decision making processes so they can start to solve problems on the field without having to rely entirely on the coach.

On this course the coaches are provided with helpful hints on using the questioning / challenging technique to assist their young players in decision making as well as some basic information regarding positional play so their players have an opportunity to play in different positions as they develop an understanding of the game’s requirements.
