Aim
The course is framed within our ‘Welsh Way’ Principles of Play, additionally, we fundamentally aim to create coaches who have the capacity to plan and design meaningful practice, adapt to the varied contexts and challenge their personal philosophy to develop the individuals’ and teams’ multi-disciplinary demands. Central to this is developing the coaches capacity to utilise and apply reflective practice techniques.
About
Delivered through flexible teaching methods over a 12-month period, the course is framed through 3 residential teaching blocks, delivered around the competitive season breaks, with in-situ support provided between each contact by our highly skilled mentoring staff who will challenge the individual needs of the coach within their own context. Further to this a series of innovative online modules will be released throughout the course, and opportunities to observe National Team camps provide critical ingredients to enable the coach to flourish.

Following the successful completion of our online modules, distance learning tasks and ongoing mentoring programme, candidates will gain the UEFA A & Elite Youth A Licence qualification.
