Community Coaching Courses

Hills Football and Member Clubs recognise the importance of Coaching and the positive influence that good coaching has on our youth players both for technical ability and for the enjoyment of football. Member Clubs are required to use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that their Coaches of division 1 youth teams and coaches within MiniRoos & MiniTildas age groups have obtained an approved qualification commensurate with the age group and or age grade they are coaching.

Hills Football is committed to improving the development of youth players via appropriately accredited coaches and will provide coaching courses throughout each season and each pre-season open to all affiliated Member Club’s so Member Clubs have every opportunity to upskill their coaches.

The courses are short, easily accessible and low-cost. The courses are heavily practical-based learning i.e. on the training field versus theory in a classroom, these courses focus almost exclusively on the “training” pillar of the Coaching Expertise Model.

The Community Coaching Courses that Hills Football deliver are:

MiniRoo’s Certificate – Discovery Phase
For coaches typically training 5-8-year-old players
The 3-hour course is fully practical and encourages the coach to develop practices that are based on FUN and the Development of Fundamental Football Skills.

The emphasis is on a holistic game-based approach i.e. learning by PLAYING football. Limited coaching but organising FUN football exercises is the key to helping players build intrinsic motivation and a love for the game.

Foundation of Football
For coaches typically training 9-15-year-old players
Over 9-hours Coaches will participate in practical sessions covering practices and key coaching delivery implementation (use of coaching tools) to facilitate a learning environment centered around the development of football technique and decision-making skills.

The course follows the Football Australia Curriculum and Game-Play-Play-Model highlighting a holistic way to deliver training, ensuring high engagement and repetition of core skills.
Cost: Typically $100*
