Guest Stephen927 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Anybody else here interested or is currently gaining their badges? Going to a one day course on Saturday about the basics of coaching etc and hopefully from there I'll get an opportunity to do some volunteering at a local football club coaching kids while I study for my level 1 FA. Quite interested and excited about getting involved in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I haven't the time to get badges, but would love to be manager of a team. I took my brothers team for one tournament along with my Dad, Of the first team 5 were missing, we got them to the final and we robbed after a lad should have been sent off for spitting and kicking another lad in the semi's was the most crooked game i'd ever watched.

Fatwax Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The coaching standards change from county to county. I'm a registered referee with Derbyshire FA & got my level 1 coaching badge there. I was never much of a footballer but loved the fitness & training aspect. It's great fun and if you do summer courses with schools like my ex girlfriend did you can earn about £15-£25 an hour. It's really rewarding in alot of ways. Saying that though, refereeing at county level is a nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm same as you fatwax, though I was a good goalie in Primary School (I was the tallest in the school ) I'm really interested in the coaching side too though I'm not sure how far I'll be able to take it or how good I'll be just yet.

Guest Stephen927 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Sounds class Supertoon, I was reading a while ago about how when you do the higher badges experience in other countries is vital? Would be good to get that out the way nice and early while your still learning and getting into it. Do you know whether degrees in coaching will be needed? It's an area am not really sure on. EDIT: I was also a striker but I wasn't too keen on leaving the oppositions box, was one of the main reasons I was lumped in goal. Still, one positive was I was first person picked cos I didn't mind getting hurt to stop a shot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 i did my level 1 badge three weeks ago, went for the intensive week long course at northumberland fa in benton, right next to the nufc training ground actually. I really enjoyed it, the guy teaching was great at his job, very friendly and had a lot of experience for someone so young i thought. its fairly simple stuff but just gets you in the mindset of how to deal with youngsters. i'd recommend it to anyone that fancies it really. I'm starting some coaching for north shields fc in september, i used to play for them when i was younger so i've come full circle really, good stuff.

Guest Stephen927 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just got back about ten minutes ago. It was more of a general youth thing about how to set up games, how to make sure things are safe and it involved a fair amount of running around and playing games that were led by other people there, then you'd run one as part of a group. Was very fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite interested and excited about getting involved in it. Aye i got offered the same thing with my course last year, done my Level 1 in Football mate, you'll pass it no bother it's a piece of piss! Also been doing coaching at college for 2 years and am now enrolled on a HE Access Course in Sport Studies and Coaching. Currently work for Northumbria Uni as a Sport Recreation Officer and sometimes help Newcastle College coach their disabled football team (bloody hard work i tell ya). After you have done the coaching over in America i think you also get an opportunity to travel the country as thats what i was offered, but work and family commitments stopped me. Go fot it pal, it will be good experience!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diddimz Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Got my Seniors coaching badge a couple years back, when i was playing much more seriously. Never did coach a seniors team, did everything from kids to under 16 girl's. Have been debating about going for higher qualifications when i get the chance, but Im still playing so dont think i will just yet, wait a few years before i do.

Yeah thats the way I see it, I reckon it'll be something I really enjoy, I'm completely sick of education so I figure something like coaching getting out there and teaching and organising sessions will be a nice change. My mate manages an under 8 team so hopefully I'll get to manage alongside him in an assistant managers role while I get my level 1, should be good fun.

Guest Heneage Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Does the badges cost anything? And when it comes to the actual management are you given or club or do you have to find one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
