We have reduced the number of CORE Level 1 Courses nin the 2010 Programme. In order to effectively service the number of FA affiliated teams across the Merseyside and ensure that newly qualified coaches are delivering in the grassroots game, we are working with all leagues and Charter Standard Clubs to run bespoke courses for their members. Please contact your league / club to discuss the opportunity to run your own Level 1 Course! Benefits of running your own courses are as follows,
- The Club/League decide the course dates (i.e they fit around your schedule)
- The cost is reduced - LCFA have ring-fenced funding to support Charter Standard Clubs / Clubs working towards CS
- You can be safe in the knowledge that all candidates will return to deliver a quality experience within your club/league.
