During this course you will learn:
- Communication, organisation and differentiation skills for group coaching
- Basic tactical, technical, physical and mental development frameworks
- Other key assistant skills, from safeguarding to FAGE LTA Youth delivery
As an LTA Assistant, you’ll be fully trained to assist a lead coach at any venue.
The course is designed so that sessions run by a lead coach can be run with higher group numbers, or a session with the same group numbers can be run with higher quality. The course learning outcomes are delivered as beginner level and red focusing on red stage coaching. However, you’ll cover basic knowledge and skills that can be applied to any age and level of player.
Structure
The qualification is made up of two separate elements - Training and Assessment.
Training: two days of face-to-face training time, separated by a minimum of three weeks (to provide time for you to get four hours of work experience and time to complete your coursework).
Assessment: the course doesn’t require a Final Assessment because you’ll be continually assessed throughout.
Prerequisites
- You must be 16 or older on the first day of the course to enrole
