Under 'Related Documents' - Coaching Pathway - is a diagram of the different routes coaches can take to obtain their chosen aims, whether working with youth or adults, early years, goalkeepers, etc.
Coaches require different skills and experiences to meet the demands of the different types of players with whom they work and the redefining the Coaching Pathway means developing and delivering specialist content for coaches of specialist groups.
The new FA Youth Awards work alongside the traditional UEFA qualifications. They are age-appropriate awards offered by the FA as part of its commitment to the principles of Long Term Player Development.
It is the first course that looks at the child and where they are developmentally (in the four corners of: physical, psychological, technical and social aspects) and then packages football through a number of exciting new activities in such a way that it "fits" the child and not the other way round.
This marks a progressive change in coaching philosophy, creating a truly player centred approach to the coaching and development of our young players.
