We are delighted to announce our second workshop of 2021 will be a coaching-specific session, delivered by FA Tutor & Coach Developer, Steve Pritchard.

Available for members of the WFA community, this workshop will take place on Tuesday, 2nd February at 7:00pm and will last for about an hour.

Steve Pritchard is a UEFA A licence coach and FA Tutor with a wealth of experience across football. Steve also has experience within the sport of Powerchair Football,  supporting players at the QAC college in Birmingham, including the delivery of an adapted FA Level 1 qualification. 

This exciting workshop will focus on how participants coach; their challenges, how they work across the 4-corner model and how they can use mistakes as a learning opportunity for both themselves and their players.

The FA 4 Corner Model suggests that player development needs to be looked at from a technical, physical, psychological and social point of view – and that no corner works in isolation from the others.

Please Note: If you are under the age of 18, we advise you to attend the session with a parent. Registration for this workshop closes at 3:00 pm,  Tuesday,  2nd February.
