​The MWFA will again be offering coaches the opportunity to develop their skills and pick up some ideas and coaching behaviours to help organise fun, safe and engaging sessions. The MWFA is committed to making coach development flexible and accessible to all of our stakeholders.

 

The full spectrum of community courses will be run across the Northern Beaches with the below courses confirmed. Clubs can host their very own coaching course at their club for their members, to organise this please contact community coach development manager Christopher Adams via Christopher.adams@mwfa.com.au or 0416 168 206.

 

ALDI MiniRoos Certificate

This course is designed for coaches/managers/volunteers and even parents involved with age groups U6 – U11.

​

The 3 hour course is fully practical and encourages the coach to develop practices that are based on FUN. The emphasis is on natural development i.e. learning by PLAYING football. No coaching but organising FUN football exercises is the key to helping players build a love for the game. Another highlight of the course is that the coaches are exposed to basic rules of the game as well as tips and hints on building a football culture in a completely practical setting.

​

The ALDI MiniRoos Certificate is FREE OF CHARGE for all participants but online registration is still compulsory..
