COACHING EDUCATION AND FOOTBALL EXCHANGE PROGRAMME
The Northern Ireland project was initiated to foster the partnership between the Irish Football Association (IFA) and the Football Club Social Alliance (FCSA).
The co-operation started in spring 2015 and aimed to exchange knowledge and best practice in order to support IFA’s programmes in Football For All. In addition, it helped to create and consolidate a networking process among the football clubs of FCSA, IFA and local organisations.
The Coaching Education Programme in Northern Ireland was divided into four modules of two to three days. with each module covering a different topic (see below). The programme brought together participants from different parts of Northern Ireland with various professional, social and cultural backgrounds who took part in the interactive theoretical and practical sessions.
