Wilky1878 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 This sub-forum is pretty dead usually so I thought I would start a thread where other coaches could come in if they need help or just post ideas, session plans, questions anything. Keeps everything together and plenty of opportunities for coaches to help each other out and discuss anything within here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTID Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 There was a fantastic thread called 'coaching styles & ideas' which had 8/9 pages I think a while back. Would be good to hear / share ideas from others for sure! Just been through my C license for youth/adult. Was a great course as I didn't think of much of levels 1-3 but this was more intense. Learned a lot as a coach would recommend it to all - fingers crossed I've passed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i'm doing not too bad so far considering I only turned 16 this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTID Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It's £280ish I think...not 100% on that it was the sfa who put me through it. The course is over 6 weeks, you have an intro day learning from your tutors, then given themes to go away & deliver as a practice/feedback. You then get different themes & do an assessment weekend 3 weeks later. Need to put in quite a bit of work to really get everything right. There's 3 parts to pass: Shaping a team Training session Individual practice Felt all 3 went well result should be any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTID Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good luck hope it goes well, where abouts is that? You just getting started in coaching then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good luck hope it goes well, where abouts is that? You just getting started in coaching then?The AstroTurf pitches at lornshill academy. I helped out at a local team last year for a bit but you can't get the qualifications till your 16. Done my 1.1 two weeks ago then my 1.2 and 1.3 this week, 4 days in a row is actually harder than I thought drains alot out of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I've had level 1.3 on hold for about three years now! Kept meaning to do it but not got round to singing up Did my level 1 and 2 (as it was called) three years ago now so should really get the next one done. Did my first with Alex Neil of Hamilton so he clearly stuck at it better than I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did my first with Alex Neil of Hamilton so he clearly stuck at it better than I did! I'd recommend doing your 1.3 by far the best out the first 3 and great experience in delivering along with proper feedback from someone within the SFA. I found it to be a great experience and is aimed more at a tactical side of the game (mainly 1v1 2v1 etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Also anyone know of here what the next step is after 1.3? Someone at Clackmannanshire council sports development it's the C license but that can't be right can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme P Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 By the looks of the comments the coaching path has changed slighty? I have old level 1 through 4. Is level 4 the new uefa C ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-r-cfc Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 According to this it's 'physical preparation' after 1.3 then the C license http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_football.cfm?page=3616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 1-3 is 1.1-1.3 I'm not sure what level 4 will be under though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTID Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The C license is level 1.4 that is correct. There is a physical prep course but it's not pass or fail I don't think. The C license is split - either you can do children (up to 12) or youth/adult which is 13+. Two different courses I believe in terms of delivery/content etc This is the first stage at which you are assessed. As noted, 1.3 you do some delivery & get feedback which is helpful.

jb7 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 A great idea for a topic. I have also just passed the C license (letter came in yesterday) I thoroughly enjoyed the course and likewise learned a huge amount! I struggled with the shaping if I'm honest but glad to get through it. Need to do a lot more learning before I make the step up to the Uefa B license. That's always been my dream since I started coaching and that's my next big target within the next 2 years. The price of it though is very large £1200 plus another £300-400 for the assessment the year after. Luckily enough I got the quality mark discount for the C license which is 50% off but there's no chance of a discount for the Uefa accredited courses.

jb7 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 That's the new pathway (although think it's 2 years old now so no longer "new") http://www.scottishfa.co.uk/scottish_football.cfm?page=3616 and the link for all the details. I was the same as a few posts above started doing the courses at 15 (luckily had some contacts within the SFA so got to start earlier than 16) and I've worked my way up both youth and the children's pathway. I love the coaching side of the game, love looking/learning at new drills and paying attention to the tactical side of the game which football manager has been very good for leaving too although the mrs doesn't quite share that view.

Graeme P Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 thanks lads, as far as i am aware i was ready to sit my UEFA B after level 4 but will need to re check that. I did a physical prep in feb i think it was? A few interesting things but thats about it. Anyone else sat one of these? IMO its just another money maker. Looking back I think thats why I may have sat it as it was one bellow uefa b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
