  • Mixing it up: The course comprises both practical and theory elements.

    If you’ve ever dreamed of becom­ing a football coach, then you may want to sign up for the FA International Foundation course with now only a few spaces remain­ing.

    Organised by It’s Just Football, and held at the Jebel Ali Centre of Excellence in Dubai, the nine-day course in January, will be delivered by a qualified coach from the Eng­lish Football Asssociation, featur­ing practical and theory elements of coaching.

    The course will include a range of practices that can be used to help develop players of all ages and abilities.

    While the theory focuses on dealing with players as well as the qualities needed to be a coach, the practical elements include dribbling with the ball, shooting, heading, goalkeeping, passing and control.

    You will also be given the chance to work with young players while being assessed.

    Throughout the course, all students will receive support and guidance towards completion of the assignments.

    Upon completion, the qualified tutor will provide detailed feed­back on your performance and will advise you whether you need to do more coaching or advance to the Intermediate course, to be held in April at the same location.

    It’s not the first time that It’s Just Football has organised the FA courses with their previous two courses being a huge success.

    “This type of FA coaching course is very popular and January’s course looks set to be another suc­cess,” said Chris Brown, managing director at It’s Just Football.

    “The course is open to people who want to develop their football coaching knowledge further. They will get to learn what is required to become a coach during the nine-days with the course involving practical and theory activities.

    “It certainly won’t be easy but it will be lots of fun and hopefully by the end of the course, they will be able to walk away with some valu­able coaching knowledge.”

    The price for the course is Dh5,000 for cash, cheque or bank transfer payments or Dh5,100 for those who wish to pay by credit card.

    The course will take place every day between January 15 and 23. Classes will be held between 18:00 and 21:30 apart from Fridays and Saturdays which run from 09:00 to 17:00.
