bafa.org.uk BAFA Announce Coaching Clinics

President of the Coaches' Association, Jim Messenger said, This is a fantastic opportunity to boost the sport with more Level 1 qualified coaches. We are delighted to be able to offer these clinics at just £17. Additionally, whilst these clinics are occurring, the Coaches' Association coach education team will be working with BAFA's consultants, Press Red and Oaks Consulting, to finalise the new Level 2 coaching qualification, which we plan to launch in late spring this year. These activities will support the newly developed Flag football and Youth football strategies, all of which have been funded through the Impact and Improvement Award.

The clinics will be held on Saturdays over the coming months:

6th March 2010 - University of Hertfordshire (Hatfield)

13th March 2010 - University of Birmingham, University of Essex (Colchester) and Prudhoe High School, Newcastle

20th March 2010 - Filton College, Wise Campus, Bristol

In addition, to further support coach development BAFA and the Coaches' Association will be staging three more clinics at the same cost.

27th March 2010 - St James School, Bolton

17th April 2010 - Scotland (Venue to be confirmed)

24th April 2010 - University of Leicester
