Coach Accreditation Program

MSSC is proud to support its coaches in the development of our young footballers. Under the Club’s Coach Accreditation Program, all junior age group coaches registered with the Club are provided with the opportunity to obtain accreditation under the FFA's Community Coaching Pathway as follows (subject to course availability):

U6 to U7: Grass Roots Certificate (3hrs);

All courses are fully funded by MSSC. For courses not arranged through MSSC, coaches will receive a course fee rebate on providing proof of successful course completion.

Coaching Resources

MSSC strongly supports the FFA’s long term National Football Development Plan and the National Curriculum which was implemented in 2009. Whilst there is a multitude of coaching resource websites, the following sites are highly recommended to all MSSC coaches. In particular, the Global Football System and S2S websites have been developed in conjunction with Football NSW and the FFA and provide a comprehensive range of age-group-specific training programs, drills, session and season planners, video demonstrations and free downloads. Coaches in the U6 to U9 age groups should also visit the FFA Optus Small Sided Football website (link located further below).
