The FA Level 2 in Coaching Football course is being discontinued and will be replaced by the UEFA C Licence, which will launch in 2022.
The UEFA C Licence will blend e-learning, mentoring and on-the-pitch development to help you build and shape your own philosophy as a football coach. More updates will become available shortly.
In the meantime...
Have you visited the Resources section of The Boot Room? If you’re a coach who’s looking for inspiration, guidance or even just some new ideas that you can try on the pitch, this is the place for you.
From in-depth interviews with football coaches to coaching session plans and articles on helping players to become more skilful, our Resources section is guaranteed to have something to support you.
When browsing our latest session plans, don’t forget to filter by age and/or skill development, behaviour, coaching approach, possession, possession, and transition to support you in your coaching context.
