Three modules - U6/U8, U8/U10 and U10/U12 - designed primarily for that age group coach. The course is designed to introduce developmentally appropriate and age appropriate activities. The course takes the approach that the “game within each child” is at the center of all belief, decisions and actions taken by the child, coach and organization. Course content will include coaching philosophy and methodology, characteristics of players, and team administration/risk management.
