Female Coaching bursary

Female Coaching Bursary

The WFA are delighted to announce an exciting bursary that will fully fund the cost of five placements on the Introduction to Coaching Football (I2CF) course and two placements on the UEFA C Licence course for females in Powerchair Football. 

These bursaries have been awarded by The Football Association, supporting their Women & Girls strategy to increase the number of females involved in coaching. These opportunities will be available to females, in any capacity, currently involved in powerchair football. These will be awarded through a club nomination process, which will be opened soon. 

The I2CF course would support first entry into coaching, and the opportunity to secure a UEFA C qualification would further help those who may already be coaching with an aspiration to move to the next level of their coaching journey/knowledge.
