Coach Development Event

Cornwall FA Coach Development Programme 22/23

Bringing coach development to you and your club.

Cornwall FA are delighted to share the first series of coach developments events that will be delivered over the 2022/23 season. 

Following a return from the COVID-19 pandemic last season, the 2022/23 season will provide further opportunities for local grassroots coaches to access high quality coach development events to provide the opportunity to network with other coaches and gain new ideas to take back to their club environments. 

With the view of making the coach development programme accessible to as many local coaches as possible, the programme will aim to provide events in the East, Centre and West of the county with the intention of bringing coach development to you and your club. The majority of the events will be club-based events and therefore delivered in partnership with a local football club, using their club players. The coach development events will also cover different topics and welcome special guests from the FA, utilising their vastly experienced Regional Coach Developers as well  as working in partnership with Plymouth Argyle Football Club and their experienced Academy coaches. 

A bespoke series of female community coaching workshops will also follow later in the year which will aim to support females who are already or are thinking about coaching football within the county. If you would like to register your interest in the female specific coaching events, please contact andrew.heapy@cornwallfa.com  

Cornwall FA Football Development Manager Daniel Greenough said, “We are pleased to be able to share the first series of coach development events for the 2022/23 season. Over the course of the season we hope to reach as many local coaches as possible to help provide new ideas for coaches to further enhance the work they carry out at their local clubs. All the events are free to attend so we’d love to see you at an upcoming event.”

The Cornwall FA Coach Development Programme Calendar (up until January 2023) can be seen below, with further events being released in the new year.
