Do you wish you had a mentor to help you develop as a coach, but finding someone willing and able (and available) is difficult?
Do you want more regular opportunities to develop your knowledge and skills beyond the occasional courses and workshops on offer?
And are you motivated to push yourself as a coach as far as you possibly can, and not afraid to be challenged?
MWFA is pleased to announce that applications for our Future Coaches Program in 2024 are now open.
This is a 10-week intensive mentoring program designed to identify, develop and reward aspiring football coaches within MWFA, whether they have ambitions to progress to higher levels, or simply want to be the best coaches they can be.
All sessions will take place on Wednesday nights from 6:30pm at Cromer Park on the following dates.
October 16, 23 and 30
November 6, 13, 20 and 27
December 4, 11 and 18
Additionally, special guest mentors and experienced coaches will be invited to join these sessions to share their feedback and advice, and other optional sessions with a practical focus will be offered on top of the core dates. There is also the potential for coaches in this program to gain paid coaching opportunities with MWFA, MWFA clubs and/or Manly United.
The program will cover content relevant to the participants, including potential areas such as training sessions, match day coaching, video analysis, periodisation, leadership, man management and personal development.
This will be a very intensive and challenging program where participants will be expected to show a high level of commitment and push each other to raise the bar as high as possible. 100% attendance is required and punctuality will also be important – coaches who cannot lead by example are not suitable for this program.
To express your interest, please fill in the application form here: https://manlyunited.wufoo.com/forms/mwfa-2024-future-coaches-program-applications/
Applications close on Sunday September 22.
