Physical Preparation For Youth/Adult Coaching Course

Designed for coaches who are actively working, or interested in working, with youth and adult players, this Scottish FA course develops the ability to plan, prepare and deliver appropriate physical preparation practices in a football context. It covers both theoretical and practical elements related to the physical development of players and sits within the Main (Youth/Adult) Coaching Pathway at Level 1/Level 2, though it must be completed before progressing to Level 3 (the Scottish FA/UEFA B Licence).

Delivered in a classroom setting, the course runs for one day (six hours) and is attendance-based rather than formally assessed, with 100% attendance required throughout. Successful candidates receive the Scottish FA Physical Preparation (Youth/Adult) Award, which must be kept valid within three years through accredited CPD or progression along the coaching pathway. The course is delivered by the Scottish FA and includes access to their Live Learning Management System for all course materials.
