To support football truly being a game for all, we are offering 20% of all places on Introduction to Coaching Football free of charge as part of our Fully-Funded Places Programme.

You must complete both of these courses before enrolling on Introduction to Coaching Football.

The Fully-Funded Places Programme has been developed to support coaches who may be facing barriers to getting involved. We want to create a more inclusive coaching workforce and have worked with a number of organisations to develop the criteria for the programme.

We welcome applications from coaches who fit into one or more of the following categories:

  • Female coaches
  • Coaches from ethnically diverse backgrounds
  • Coaches from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds
  • Coaches with disabilities

The programme also takes into consideration other relevant factors such as lived experience in care.
