The programme provides an opportunity for students who are passionate about football and their education, to combine the two as part of this course. The curriculum provides students with an insight into what life would be like coaching in an academy session, through the way in which CITC deliver sessions.
As a student on the Football Coaching course, you will play in the City in the Community BTEC leagues alongside playing in national cup competitions.
We will evaluate your technique and any performance habits you may have acquired in high school, and we will provide you with coaching on how to improve through performance analysis. Consequently, this will help you gain a deeper understanding of performance analysis when coaching in various sporting environments and provide you with the confidence to confidently use the same methods with others when coaching in schools and sports clubs.
This course will help you gradually become a more independent learner, with the aim of leading in a coaching-based environment and be able to improve performance when needed to promote growth, development and learning in others.
Due to the course being 100% coursework, the theory based content is a large significant element of the course and not solely practical based.
