I’m looking add to my soccer CV this season and had wanted to do the intro to Futsal and the Disability, however due to cutbacks the FAI have no dates scheduled for these two workshops. I suppose it goes with the current times.

I did ask them how many coaches they would need to do either of the workshops and for the Futsal one to be run, there would have to be  a minimum of 20 and up to 30 pax. For the disability workshop only a minimum of 8 and up to 16.

Which brings me to the point of this post!! If anyone is interested in doing either of the workshops could you get in contact with me and if any clubs wants to take it on even better. I don’t work for the FAI, I just want add to my coaching CV and if this is the quickest way to get one of the above workshops going then I’ll do anything for it to happen (within reason).

The Disability Workshop (I prefer football for all)

knowledge, skills and competence.

Objectives: To provide coaches with the ability to:

  • Increase awareness that people with disabilities participate in football
  • Examine one’s personal reaction to the issue of disability
  • Identify the broad disability groupings and Communications to each
  • Apply one’s knowledge of coaching and skill development towards participants with disabilities in practical sessions
  • Consider the Inclusion Spectrum and apply it

Entry Requirements:

Workshop candidates will need to have completed kick Start one/Senior Intro courses

Duration/Format:

6 contact hours / There are practical aspects of the course, therefore please bring appropriate attire for indoor use.
