The Award Two Youth/Adult course has been developed to take account of the different playing capacities that exist at youth (age 13 – 18) and adult (age 19+) levels, and the competencies that a coach is required to display when working with each of these playing populations. The course will focus on the further development of how and what to coach based on the playing group that you are involved with but also to look further at the integration of key areas that contribute to performance.
The course will also expose coaches to the OTú model and introduce them to reflective practice for coaches, players and teams. The course is 27 hours in duration covering several key modules, including Introductory and Conclusion modules.
