The FA Youth Award – Module 2
‘Developing the Practice’
*Course Overview*
Module 2 of The FA Youth Award focuses on developing practice sessions
which are appropriate for young players of different ages, abilities and with
different experience levels. This is more suited to coaches who want to
develop their knowledge further.
Centre of Excellence / Academy coaches as well as committed grassroots coaches
have found this further area of study useful.
The content on all modules is relevant for coaches working with young players of any
age (5 to 16).
Module Two lasts four days (32 hours) and includes a formative assessment (you will
prepare and deliver a practical session and feedback will be given – it is not pass or
fail). The course will be a mixture of theory and practical sessions covering:
•
