:doh: :cry: Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Arnold.J.Rimmer on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 21:22:47 what sort of questions?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Arriba on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 21:27:44 i know people who admit to knowing nothing about football who have level 1 coaching badges.peice of piss to gain.level 2 is when it starts getting serious and people need to know what they are doing to pass
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC_Gazza on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 21:28:10 The theory is harder than I thought it would be. :doh: :cry: Ask DV I think he used to coach a kids team so probably has some idea? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DMR on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 21:28:18 Aren't you the idiot who asked that passport question the other day?
If so I'm suprised you can even tie your fucking boots up. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC_Gazza on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 21:31:25 Aren't you the idiot who asked that passport question the other day? If so I'm suprised you can even tie your fucking boots up. :D Quality! Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 21:32:03 If you cant pass level one then you probably shouldnt attempt to be a football coach.
Level One is without a doubt a piece of piss. Infact its even easier than that. No one on my course failed, even the guy who had been in the country about 4 months and could only speak, read & write basic english passed easily. Of course, it might not matter but getting the level 1 is nothing like coaching. Obviously you do your badges with your class which is generally all adults who do as you ask them to. If you planning to coach children then nothing beats experience! Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: donkey on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 21:45:53 Doing this in May...let's hope I don't fuck up.
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Crozzer on Thursday, March 12, 2009, 22:13:23 I coach kids, what do I need to know? Don't miskick when attempting to clear the ball. If a goalie, don't punch the ball weekly right in front of the goal. Marking means staying touch-tight and goalside, especially at corners and at free-kicks. Stretch and warm-up before practice or starting a game. Don't slag off your team with a Scottish accent after the game, especially if you have just won on penalties Anything else a Swindon fan wouldn't know? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 08:36:04 Aren't you the idiot who asked that passport question the other day? I am that idiot, and guess what, I was actually right and everyone else was wrong.If so I'm suprised you can even tie your fucking boots up. Including you. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, March 13, 2009, 08:41:16 How could you have been right when you didn't know the answer?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 08:45:00 Ok then, everyone that said I was a thick shit and I obviously need to get a first adult passport was actually wrong.
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: fatbury on Friday, March 13, 2009, 08:45:27 Ive done Level 1 ... the secret is not to panic about anything ... just relax .. take deep breaths and read the book carefully .. practice your practical with your own team (whomever you are going to coach) and just be yourself when it comes to the day .. as long as you make a decent go at it youll pass
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 08:46:54 If you cant pass level one then you probably shouldnt attempt to be a football coach. Have you got your level 2 DV?Level One is without a doubt a piece of piss. Infact its even easier than that. No one on my course failed, even the guy who had been in the country about 4 months and could only speak, read & write basic english passed easily. Of course, it might not matter but getting the level 1 is nothing like coaching. Obviously you do your badges with your class which is generally all adults who do as you ask them to. If you planning to coach children then nothing beats experience! Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Friday, March 13, 2009, 09:02:27 Have to echo what DV says. Level one is basically football orientated child minding! It is stupidly easy.
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Berniman on Friday, March 13, 2009, 09:43:00 I passed mine last year a couple of years ago and it is pretty impossible to fail unless you really don't have a clue. It more of a certificate to say you have gone through the process rather than have passed. It is used more as way of ensuring that coaches are vetted to be able to coach kids rather than actually meaning that you are a good coach, but you do learn some useful exercises by doing it.
As has been said, Level 2 is where it really starts to pick up and there is some serious work done in the classroom and training ground, that is a proper certification. If you are struggling with Level 1 then you probably should stay away from the whole coaching thing. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 09:45:18 It's not struggling as such, i've pretty much completed the theory work already. There's just parts where I think, what do I write here. It's nothing to do with knowing about football, I think it's my writing skills if that makes sense?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Friday, March 13, 2009, 09:48:22 Its OK STFC4LIFE - I feel your pain - Ive failed my excercise to to music theory twice now!
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Berniman on Friday, March 13, 2009, 13:36:49 It's not struggling as such, i've pretty much completed the theory work already. There's just parts where I think, what do I write here. It's nothing to do with knowing about football, I think it's my writing skills if that makes sense? Don't put uneccesary weight on your shoulders by worrying it about it too much. On the final day on which you will find out if you have passed it is all about theory anyway and whether you can carry out a training exercise. That is the thing that will get you the certificate, not so much the written work. Level 2 is a different matter though. As long as you show that you have an understanding of what you have been taught you will be OK. They don't put too much importance on whether it is worded correctly etc. they take an overall view of whether you understand what has been taught. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 13:50:31 Would like to do the level 2, never be one for words though.
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Bennett on Friday, March 13, 2009, 13:51:51 i want to do my coaching badges, can i copy off you?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 13:53:21 If you like :D.
Most of it is piss easy, you can copy most of it from the books you get with it. But certain bits I never know what to put. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Bennett on Friday, March 13, 2009, 14:03:15 wooo thank you fenceman
at the risk of a tragically obvious question and mocking- would i contact the wilts FA about getting onto a course for the badges? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 14:21:00 I presume so.
Mine is tied in with the course i'm doing at college. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Friday, March 13, 2009, 14:25:48 I havent done my level 2 but I know alot of people have and helped a friend finish his off.
My old 'boss' being a cheap skate would only pay for the most basic training for his coaches. When I've been working for a while I'll look towards doing level 2, then 3 then I'll manage STFC and we might win a game :) Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 14:47:21 My coaches are level 2 and 3.
They're both part of 'Jamie Shore Soccer International'. Who did you work for DV? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Friday, March 13, 2009, 16:18:51 Premier Sport, avoid at all costs.
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Berniman on Friday, March 13, 2009, 16:26:09 wooo thank you fenceman at the risk of a tragically obvious question and mocking- would i contact the wilts FA about getting onto a course for the badges? You can do that, or take a trip down to Greendown School, which is where a lot of the Wiltshire courses take place, and they would probably be able to give you a booking form. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: tans on Friday, March 13, 2009, 17:07:40 My coaches are level 2 and 3. They're both part of 'Jamie Shore Soccer International'. Who did you work for DV? Isnt he an ex Gashead? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:27:03 Premier Sport, avoid at all costs. Are they that bad? There's a part time job going with them near me.Isnt he an ex Gashead? No idea Tans.Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:38:00 Are they that bad? There's a part time job going with them near me. That depends on who runs the Melksham (right?) area. If its still Chokri then stay well clear. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Friday, March 13, 2009, 18:52:44 That depends on who runs the Melksham (right?) area. Well it was Bath & Chippenham, and yes, he (or she) was the person who I had to e-mail.If its still Chokri then stay well clear. Is this person that bad? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Friday, March 13, 2009, 19:19:37 When I worked there (I left at the end of the last school year) Bath & Chippenham was owned by Choks but run by a guy called Owen Brian who was spot on. Choks generally left Owen to it.
I could give you a good 100 different reasons why not to work for Chokri but its up to you. I can pretty much answer you anything you want to know, I used to interview the staff and practically in some cases run the damn business for him.

I was proved right. Wouldnt work for the cunt! Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 11:47:46 Do they only do football coaching DV?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Bennett on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 12:28:13 they do basketball and cricket that i know of
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 14:25:24 Do they only do football coaching DV? Nope, they do everything and anything the school want. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 14:31:51 I take it you only done football?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 14:39:13 nope, I probably coached every sport you can think of...
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 14:41:58 nope, I probably coached every sport you can think of... Class D Long Distance Spirograph? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 14:47:45 Junior High Ball Squirrel Hopping?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 14:48:10 ...but...of course
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: flammableBen on Saturday, March 14, 2009, 15:10:13 111m Bucket Burrowing Hurdles?
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Tuesday, March 17, 2009, 14:49:32 DV, does this person respond to e-mails?
All I did was ask a bit about the bloody job going. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Tuesday, March 17, 2009, 14:54:06 DV, does this person respond to e-mails? All I did was ask a bit about the bloody job going. not very often. He'll maybe read the first two lines and if he doesnt like what he sees he'll just ignore it. Not the most professional company in the world. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: nevillew on Tuesday, March 17, 2009, 15:49:21 Ok then, everyone that said I was a thick shit and I obviously need to get a first adult passport was actually wrong. Well done. Now, what are those white stick things at either end of a football pitch called ? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Tuesday, March 17, 2009, 19:38:19 Flag posts ;)
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 13:39:31 Passed this today.
Hoping to get a bit of work now. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 14:05:23 not with Premier Sport I hope
....as you will probably be sent off to coach every sport going apart from football. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 14:17:12 There's a job going with Premier Sport in the Bath and Chippenham area. :D
Do you know of any companies DV? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 14:20:35 There is another one based around bassettish I think its called elite soccer and of course there is the STFC Football in the Community.....but the main one is actually Premier Sport, certainly in Swindon anyway.
As I said before if B&C is still being run by Owen you'll be alright because he's a stop bloke, friendly and organised. If you work for Chokri you'll be dropped off at random places, told about half an hour before hand that your actually coaching gymnastics and no one will pick you up and you'll get left outside some school somewhere for a few hours. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 14:23:14 I was just looking at there website
so theoretically I could work for them as a cheerleading coach? I have a level 2 BCA qualification Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: STFC4LIFE on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 14:23:44 I take it you don't drive yourself then?
I think it is this Chokri fella that runs it. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 15:17:36 no I could drive. I was the fucker who had to drop everyone off at their schools and collect them aftewards.
then the one time my car was in the garage and I needed to be dropped off and picked up, guess what....no one fucking came to pick me up. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 18:50:56 I would not trust any of bunch of wankers coaching a team. over half of you tried to convince me Maurice Malpas would come good ;)
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 19:10:50 ....and he did
....at Inverness. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: PHIL!!!! on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 21:21:30 I take it you don't drive yourself then? Oh god, that bloke is sucha cock....I think it is this Chokri fella that runs it. Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: PHIL!!!! on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 21:22:15 There is another one based around bassettish I think its called elite soccer and of course there is the STFC Football in the Community.....but the main one is actually Premier Sport, certainly in Swindon anyway.

I take it you know Pod (David Tomlinson) then DV? Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: Dozno9 on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 21:33:52 If it's Chokri, stay away.
Title: Re: FA Level One Coaching Certificate Post by: DV on Thursday, March 19, 2009, 02:47:32 I take it you know Pod (David Tomlinson) then DV? we've had this discussion before, of course I know Pod. He practically runs Premier Sport for that man. Donzo, I'm interested to know what your dealings with Choks were and why you think he's a cock? |
