Coaching Courses and Events

Each season the Club conducts both Mini Roos and Skills Training Certificate (STC) coaching courses at Abbott Rd. In addition, registered coaches are also able to access, free of charge, the coaching courses run by the MWFA. These courses are great fun and will enable you to feel properly equipped to run your training sessions in a way that is beneficial to your players to help them develop their skills.
In addition to these formal courses the club also holds Coaching Workshops at Abbott Rd and is part of the MWFA Club Coach Coordinator program providing more individual mentoring and support to our volunteer coaches.

In 2021 the MWFA (and CCFC) requires that all volunteer coaches are appropriately qualified under the FFA Community Pathway for the age group they are coaching. In summary:

U6 to U8: Mini Roos Discovery Phase - 3 hour practical course

U8 to U13: Skills Training Certificate (STC) 7 hr course time (2 evenings) plus post-course mentoring and self reflection

U14 to U18: Game Training Certificate (GTC) 7hr course time (2 evenings) plus post-course mentoring and self reflection
