MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS
The GFACA continues to promote coach development on Guernsey. Membership of the GFACA delivers the following benefits:
1. We meet four times a year at organised practical coaching demonstrations. These are led by a variety of professional coaches, to demonstrate a variety of sessions, ie from sessions for coaching young children, to sessions for coaching youth and senior players, to sessions for helping coaches progressing through the qualifications, to sessions bringing the latest on coaching from the FA.
Membership to the GFACA therefore delivers the opportunity for you to further your knowledge and learn new/different drills, games, sessions and coaching methods that you can take away and use or adapt in your own coaching environment.
2. These demonstrations will obviously also provide support to a coaches personal development, including coaches who are progressing through the levels of coaching qualifications.
3. We will work in partnership with other County Football Associations which brings mutual benefits.
We have members at all coaching levels, from Level 1 to 3 and we believe the GFACA offers a valuable service to new and existing coaches on Guernsey.
