In June 2015 I started block one of the UEFA A Licence (Part One). I have a few other things to blog about the course, which was a fantastic experience, but lets start at the start!

A pre-course task was set with the following criteria;

 1. DESIGN A PRACTICE AS PART OF YOUR CLUB, SCHOOL OR ORGANISATIONS PROGRAMME OF WORK TO IMPROVE YOUR PLAYERS AND TEAM IN A CERTAIN ASPECT OF THE DEVELOPING MODERN GAME.

2. YOU WILL NEED TO ILLUSTRATE AND DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS IS A PARTICULAR AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT REQUIRED TO DEVELOP YOUR TEAM AND IMPROVE PERFORMANCES.

3. YOU WILL THEN PLAN ORGANISE AND DELIVER A PRACTICE FOCUSSING ON THE TACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE GAME/PRACTICE.

4. YOU WILL HAVE APPROXIMATELY 25 MINUTES TO DELIVER THIS PRACTICE DURING BLOCK 1 OF THE COURSE. YOU WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS YOUR SESSION WITH OTHER GROUP MEMBERS AND YOUR TUTOR PRIOR TO DELIVERY AND POST THE DELIVERY.
