At Redlands United FC, we are committed to the ongoing development of our players and coaches. We encourage all volunteer coaches to undertake some formal couching courses to further develop their coaching skills. To help you on your journey, Football Queensland and Football Australia have a variety of Coach Education courses available. The following is a brief overview of the types of course to better help you understand which course may suit your team’s ability and age bracket.
Miniroos
MiniRoos is aimed at volunteer parents and coaches working with novice players or players aged approximately up to ten (10) years old. The session is entirely practical and encourages the coach to create games based on enjoyment. The focus is on learning by playing football. The secret to encouraging players to develop a love for the game without coaching is to organise enjoyable football activities. The coaches’ exposure to fundamental game rules and guidance on creating an enjoyable and safe football environment.
