Ayr United Football Club Community
Coach Education
INTRODUCTION
The role of the coach is crucial to the development and success of our
national game: good coaching can educate and inspire players to achieve
their potential and enrich their experience at all levels.
Young or old, male or female, elite or recreational - everyone who wants
to play football should have that opportunity. You, the coach, have a
fundamental role in ensuring that experience will be memorable to all
who participate.
In Scotland, we have a rich tradition and history of coaches who are
passionate about the game, and passionate about the development of
the next generation of players. To all of you who devote time, energy
and commitment, we thank you.
The Scottish FA works relentlessly to develop and deliver a coach education
programme that will equip you with the information and direction to
support your players as they work to fulfil their ambitions, whether thatís
simply to have fun, be a better player, or to reach the top of the game.
Football is by definition a competitive sport, regardless of age group,
level of ability or the prize at stake. But, putting aside trophies and
medals, you must understand the stage of your playersí development
and ensure that Fair Play and a love of the game are cornerstones of your
coaching philosophy.
To ensure that these principles are shared across our game, the Scottish
FA has embraced the Positive Coaching Scotland programme, supported
by the Winning Scotland Foundation. This programme and partnership
will help inform our work in coach education and club development, and
will become a key part of the new player pathway.
This year we will deliver a series of new player pathway workshops to
support coaches and volunteers working at 4-a-side, 7-a-side and during
the transition to 11-a-side football. These workshops will help us to
improve the football culture in Scotland and make the environment for
our players the best it has been.
Good luck with your own development and the progress of your players
and teams.
