 The Bermuda Football Coaches Association (BFCA) has announced the Intro to Coaching Course offering for 2018.
The new course is designed using the same UEFA Licensing standards as the C License course. It will serve as the entry point for the BFCA’s coaching education pathway.
The course curriculum is developed by Jacques Crevoisier and is delivered over two weekends, with instruction led by UEFA B qualified coach educators from the BFCA. It comprises classroom and on-field sessions, with individual assessments held at the end of the course.
The course is sanctioned by the Bermuda Football Association (BFA) and qualifies the successful candidate to receive the BFA “D” license, required to coach at Under 7, Under 9 and Under 11 Age Level teams.
