Just jump online and register to do the course that suits you....

If you are a beginner I suggest starting with FUN-damentals of Coaching - its a great start and is listed under the Junior Courses 

Then move onto Junior Level 1 & Junior Level 2, there are also courses on Refereeing available as well! You will be able to save your prgress and come back to it in NZFlearn - the site NZ Football developed in 2024 to help with ensuring our Volunteer coaches have the tools they need to succeed!

You can work through the ONLINE portion of the course, and then come along to the Practical sessions in MAY - to earn your Coaching CERTIFICATE. 

• Fun-damentals & JL1 Practicals are booked with Scott Parsonage from WAIBOP for Sunday 18th May 10am-11.30am at the junior grounds HERE
• JL2 Practical is booked for Sunday 25th May 1pm-2.30pm HERE

If you need support - we have the tools, the course dont take up much time and they will give you the confidance to realise YOU can be a COACH.  I realise its daunting, and often way out of our comfort zone to put your hand up (believe me I know) but without our volunteer coaches the kids dont play - it really is that simple, so that makes every single one of our Coaches & Co-Coaches

CFC LEGENDS, right along side the Managers who are helping them out!
