FAS Grassroots Coaching Course Empowers Aspiring Coaches – February 2024

The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) recently completed the 2024 FAS Grassroots Coaching Course at Jalan Besar Stadium on 5 and 6 February 2024. The course, organized by the Coach Education Department (CED), focused on grooming coaches dedicated to young talents aged between six to nine years old.

Numerous applicants from both Singapore and abroad showcased exceptional enthusiasm and dedication. With a large number of hopefuls applying for limited spots, the selection process was rigorous to ensure the 27 chosen participants received top-quality instruction.

Under the guidance of esteemed Coach Developers Mr. Hanfiah Al-Sofli, Mr. Fadzuhasny Juraimi, and Mr. Ahmadulhaq Bin Che Omar, the course covered essential theoretical topics like the “Philosophy & Key Principles of Grassroots Football” and “Qualities of a Good Coach.” Practical sessions included crucial aspects like “Introduction of S.M.I.L.E.S.” and “Components of Coaching Session.”

Participants actively engaged in planning and delivering coaching sessions, receiving valuable feedback from Coach Developers to refine their techniques. The course garnered positive feedback, with Mr. Ryan Ernst Huber praising the insights shared by Coach Developers and Mr. Mohamed Hanafiah Bin Al-Sofli highlighting the passion and potential of grassroots coaches.

Post-course, participants will complete a 16-hour attachment at football academies to enhance their coaching skills. The CED plans to conduct more such courses in response to the football community’s demand in 2024. Please note that this course does not lead to other coaching certifications.

Overall, the FAS Grassroots Coaching Course provided a solid foundation for individuals looking to boost their skills and passion for football, emphasizing teamwork, sportsmanship, and innovative coaching techniques while shaping the future of the sport one player at a time.
