The CAF B Diploma Coaching Course first phase got underway at Germiston Stadium, where 25 coaches will begin the journey to attaining their CAF B License Coaching badges. The first phase will run from 29 April to 5 May 2024.
The coaches are expected to finish the course after three phases in July.
Speaking to www.safa.net, CAF Instructor Steve Coetzee, highlighted the topics for the first phase and spoke about the diversity within this group undertaking the CAF B Diploma Course.
“We are very happy to be conducting a CAF B Diploma Course after so many years. I know many coaches have been calling for these courses and we are proud to be able to deliver both the A and B Diploma’s in 2024.
“We will be working on the following topics this week, and we believe that the coaches will leave this phase with a lot of knowledge that they should start implementing within their various areas,” said Coetzee.
He said the areas are philosophy of football, technical development, evolution of systems, tactical development, psychology, laws of the game, player development, reading the game, coaching methodology and nutrition and injuries.
Coetzee further said they are happy with the mix of coaches present here. He added that they have coaches in the PSL, Motsepe Championship, Hollywoodbets Super League and the National teams, which is wonderful for group projects because we will have so many different perspectives of the game, from Coaching at the Elite, semi-professional level and international levels.
“We are looking forward to a great session and wish all the coaches the best in attaining this Diploma,” said Coetzee.
