Coach Workshops

MWFA also provides a large number of free Coach Workshops to compliment official courses, which focus in-depth on specific topics and challenges coaches have and are usually done using a club team so coaches can see a realistic session being run by an experienced coach. Coaches can attend any and all of these workshops if they wish to, even if they are not a member of the clubs hosting them.

All MWFA Coach Workshops are completely FREE, but registration is required here:  https://manlyunited.wufoo.com/forms/mwfa-2023-coach-workshops-registration/
