All You Need To Know For Coaching!

Our club has for some time been looking at ways we can assist our coaches to enhance the quality of coaching, in particular with junior teams. There are many opportunities for Coaches to improve their coaching skills and SSFA run accredited courses throughout the whole year. They regularly post information to their website www.shirefootball.com

You can see all coaching information on the "Home Of Coaching" website HERE
