FAW Foundation Awards

The FAW Football Leaders Award is an eight-hour practical day following on from five online modules.

The course is designed to provide a basic introduction to the organisation of football practices in a fun, safe environment, with an emphasis on engaging with young players.

This is a mandatory award for all coaches involved in junior football in Wales and will be supported with post-course online resources.

Carol Williams, FAW Football Leaders Award graduate

"I love coaching for the enjoyment the kids get out of it.

They keep turning up every week and they always enjoy it. It's just great.

I'm always looking for new ideas to help keep the kids involved, keep their enthusiasm up and keep them coming back.

I love sharing ideas with other coaches and adapting them for my own players."
