Football Federation Tasmania will be running a Skill Training Certificate course beginning Sunday, 9th of April. The course will run over two Sundays, with the first part on the 9th of April at Pembroke Park, Sorell and the second part on the 23rd of April at Edgeworth Street ground, Warrane, 9am to 4pm on both days. The course is designed for coaches training players in the 9-13 year old age group. In the Skill Acquisition Phase the coach must focus on building a solid foundation of Technical Skill. The course is conducted over 14 hours, is fully practical and deals with the development of the 4 Functional Game Skills:

• First Touch
• Striking the Ball
• Running with the Ball
• 1 v 1

These four core skills make up 95% of the actions of any outfield player during a game of football which is why it is critical to train these actions repeatedly so that the players develop their ability to perform them more effectively during a game. This is a practical course with learning done on the field. Register for Skill Training Certificate
