Lincolnshire County FA successfully deliver the 1st4sport Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Football
During a long, hot week in April the Lincolnshire County FA embarked on its flagship Coaching Qualification, the 1st4sport Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Football. This was the first time in a number of years that Lincolnshire have managed to facilitate this course and with the number of people who booked on and attended the course, the first part of the course has been a success.
The course is taking place at Ruston Sports and Social Club in Lincoln with 21 candidates attending and completing the 6 days intensive coaching days. The candidates have travelled from all over Lincolnshire and are completing the qualification for a number of different reasons. The tutors who are delivering the course are Nigel Richardson and Mick Matthews who both have vast experience within football and delivering the higher level qualifications.
The course is also being supported by Lincoln College as they have provided some students to act as participants to enable more coaches to observe what is going on and also give the chance for more people to have a rest.
Whilst on a visit to the course, Paul Hamnett (Football Development Officer) noted that all the candidates seemed to be enjoying themselves and also scribbling down and taking in vast amounts of information. Furthermore the candidates were able to work on their sun tans or in some cases their sun burn as the course took place in glorious sunshine with temperatures in the twenties, so they could not ask for any better weather.
The course is set to continue in June with further dates in August and the assessments taking place later in the year but fingers crossed that the course, the enthusiasm and the weather continues to be a success.
For more information about the 1st4sport Level 3 Certificate in Coaching Football qualification please visit our website, www.lincolnshirefa.com/development and visit the Coach Education section. There are currently no further courses planned by the Lincolnshire CFA as we wait to hear from the FA about the future plans for the delivery and administration of the Level 3 course. Please note that any courses will be advertised on our website when we have the details.
