Firstly, MWFA would like to thank you for putting your hand up to be a coach this season. Every team needs one, and the players and parents will surely appreciate your time and efforts.
All official Football Australia coaching courses being offered within MWFA this year are detailed and listed below. These will help coaches to run fun, safe and engaging training sessions. We are committed to making Coach Development as flexible and accessible as possible throughout the season, and so more courses will also be added as they are confirmed.
FOUNDATION OF FOOTBALL COACHING COURSES
This course is designed for coaches working with beginner players to competent level players of varying age groups (U8s up to seniors).
You will learn the basics of techniques as well as learning about basic playing principles of the game, along with many coaching tips in a fully practical environment. Coaches will participate in group discussions and tasks with the goal of exchanging ideas and experiences.
The course goes for 8 hours and can be delivered over one full day or across two nights, and the course fee is $100 which must be paid up front.
There are also 2 online modules to complete as part of this course which should take about 30 minutes in total. This course is also a pre-requisite for the C Diploma.
Football Australia has recently moved learning platforms to etrainu. If this is your first time accessing the platform, you will need to complete a couple of steps.
1. Head to the Play Football website and to register as a coach with your local club.
2. If you do not have a club to register for yet in 2025, Register for the Learner NSW club instead.
2. After completing Steps 1-2, you will need to wait 3-4 hours before being able to use the etrainu link here below to access the new learning platform. Please ensure you log in as a ‘Learner’.
