The Social Corner
What To Expect?
The evening will dive into the social corner with 2 main aims. Firstly to recognise how football has the potential to contribute to a player’s social development. Secondly, the workshop will explore ways in which the coach can challenge & develop a player / group of players both on & off the pitch – specifically looking at practice design & coaching behaviors.
The workshop will be a mixture of both theory & practical, to which there will be ample opportunity to discuss & ask questions.Date: Monday 30th April 2018

Absolutely. The FA runs events all over the country and for all levels. To explore events please visit our national CPD events page here.
If you're an FA Level 1 or 2 learner, continuous professional development hours are optional and so there is no longer a requirement for licensing .
If you're a UEFA qualified coach, however, you are required to complete 15 hours of CPD every three years to maintain your licence, which The FA recommends is best achieved by completing 5 hours per season
