Coaching Courses
Our local association MWFA offers many types of coach education opportunities and run coaching workshops throughout the season. No matter whether you have never coached before or if you have coached for years, the coaching courses run by the MWFA are beneficial to everyone in some way shape or form. Pittwater RSL FC strongly recommends all coaches complete the Miniroos course as a first step.
The Miniroos course explains not just how to keep kids entertained, but how to craft and run a drill in a fun and engaging way. If you’re coaching 6 year olds, or adults, you will get something out of these courses.
The following courses are available – see https://www.mwfa.com.au/coaching-courses/ for more details.
MINIROOS COACHING COURSES
This course is designed for coaches of U6s up to U10s, but also for any beginner coaches of any age group or those looking for a refresher.
You will learn how to keep your players engaged while picking up new skills through playing 30+ drills, along with many coaching tips in a fully practical environment.
The course goes for 2-3 hours and is completely free. There are also 2 online modules to complete as part of this course which should take about 30 minutes in total.
