MWFA runs a large number of Coach Workshops at various clubs during the winter season. These coach education opportunities compliment official FFA coaching courses, with topics based on feedback received on what coaches would find valuable.
Coaches can attend any and all of these workshops if they wish to, even if they are not a member of the club hosting them.
All workshops will commence at different times. Please check this and ensure you arrive at least 10 minutes early to sign in so the workshops can start and finish on time.
