To all of the legends of the game who have entered the world of Coaching, the BDSFA are opening up expression of interests to all of our female Coaching members who either haven’t undertaken any formal learning as of yet, or wish to further their education into higher phased certificates. Expressions of interest are now open to all female members to obtain either their MiniRoos Certificate or Skills Training Certificate.

The MiniRoos Certificate – Learning the Discovery phase – For Coaches training Under 5-7 age groups.

The 3 hour course is fully practical and encourages the coach to develop practices that are based on FUN, ENGAGING AND SAFE. The emphasis is on natural development i.e. learning by PLAYING football. No coaching but organising FUN, ENGAGING AND SAFE football exercises is the key to helping players build a love for the game. Another highlight of the course is that the coaches are exposed to basic rules of the game as well as tips and hints on building a football culture in a completely practical setting.

The Skills Training Certificate – Learning the Skills Acquisition Phase – For Coaches training the Under 8 to 11 age groups.

In the Skill Acquisition Phase the coach must focus on building a solid foundation of technical skill. The course is fully practical and deals with the development of the 4 Functional Game Skills:
