Essex County FA will be holding a course on coaching disabled footballers on Saturday at Basildon Sports Centre.

The course, which costs £10 and includes lunch, runs from 10am to 4.30pm and is aimed at individuals who have a football coaching qualification or some experience of coaching and are looking to get involved in disability football.

General and specialist coaching methods will be discussed which makes the course suitable for those wishing to integrate disabled players into mainstream or disabled-only sessions.

The morning session between 10am and 1pm follows the theory side of coaching and includes planning a session and terminology and communication.

The practical afternoon session between 2pm and 5pm offers hands-on coaching sessions and evaluation.

To book a place on the course contact Pat on 01245 458623.
