Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • 8d@Ross Whitehead That’s interesting, Ross. In Scotland, clubs are usually good with funding coaches to go on courses.Is money just tight in the Irish game?1Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • 8d@Kevin Middleton It must be, but I’m not sure to be honest. The latest message we had about training is that the funding fell through. I don’t know if that’s IFA grants, Lottery grants or Government grants - it’s all above my pay grade!0Reply

Brian Willis • 8d@Steve Miles our C is $1500 now , B is $2800. Most clubs won’t outright cover the cost for coaches, but only reimburse upon completion.0Reply

Ross Whitehead🔥 • 8dThe NCC is £220 and seems to run from 9-5 on a Sunday. The Irish FA have released all the dates for next year - I’m tempted to go ahead and take the initiative and just book on one of them.2Reply

Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • 8d@Alfie Allan a lot of people rush through them but it is often best to get experience between badges. That way you can apply and refine what you’ve learned1Reply

Brian Willis • 8dI wont speak to the UEFA badges, but I generally think the USSF coaching certificates are not worth the money. Its just a box you need to check to get certain coaching gigs. We have an alternate certification path through United Soccer Coaches and while I have heard good things, I have not taken any of their courses myself.3Reply

Brian Willis • 8d@Kevin Middleton You could say everything about US football is weird, but it’s a lot better than it used to be. It’s come a long way in the last 10-15 years.2Reply

Steve Miles • 7d@Eddie Ormonde Probably true - I know some outstanding coaches that are only Level 1, and some terrible coaches with UEFA A, and Advanced Youth Awards3Reply
