Around 50 coaches attended the recent MWFA Coaching Expo despite the bad weather, and the night was a great success. Special thanks to our guests Phil Moss and Jimmy van Weeren for their time and insightful contributions, along with all of the coaches and players who helped out on the night with the model sessions.

Feedback received from the Expo provides a good guide on what to expect at the upcoming workshops:

Very informative and I learnt a lot. Chris Whiting

I really got a lot out of it, especially the first session. A lot of good ideas for my own coaching sessions and great to see it actually played out rather than on the page! Chris Harvey

It was extremely professionally presented, and an invaluable experience for myself as a novice coach.In particular it was great to see the lesson plans from the coaching manuals in practice. Although I have looked at the lesson plans in the FFA manuals I didnt really understand them. Now I have seen the intent behind the lessons I can unlock this valuable resource. Steve Perfrement
