💼 What the programme involves
Football has always been a great passion in the life of many Ghanaian children. It is the most popular sport in the country and you will most likely see children playing football on every corner in the city. We are fortunate to have links to the majority of football clubs in the city from premier to division three, and the junior teams as well. This gives opportunity to people wanting to gain a higher level of football coaching experience or coach young enthusiastic children develop their skills. Whatever your background or level of football coaching knowledge, we have a placement for you, whether you are an enthusiastic beginner or a licensed coach.
Basic understanding of the game is what is most needed together with the enthusiasm. You will mainly be assigned to U12, U14, and U17 depending on the level you want to coach and the experience you have. Your role will mainly involve running and supervising training sessions and organising matches with other clubs with the help of local coaches. It is likely you are going to be working with other participants as well, but local coaches will also be available sometimes to help in the coaching drills. Be creative and always add new coaching techniques in your sessions. It may take few days to develop a coaching programme that is unique to you and your team though.
Aims & Objectives :
