Coaching

Want to become a coach?

Becoming a coach obviously takes patience, perseverance and a good level of committment but to coach in Wales today it requires you to gain a certain minimum level of qualification. This is done not to stifle your own personal take on the game but to ensure that even the newest coaches have a standardised amount of knowledge on the game for the benefit of yourself and your players.

Getting started couldn't be easier, for the Leaders Award (aimed at U16's) and Level 1 UKCC no prior experience is necessary.
