FA Youth Award - Module 1 'Developing the Environment'

This brand new qualification forms the first part of the FA Youth Award and is aimed at adult coaches and youth coaches working with young players. Module 1 will look specifically at developing the right environment for all young players to learn and develop.

Module 1 is a 32-hour Course and is non-assessed. The focus is on developing the player and how best to create and maintain the right environment for development. This module is one of 3 that will lead to achieving the FA Youth Award.

The outcomes of Module 1 are as follows:

 Recognise how your players learn and encourage you to focus on supporting them to develop maximally
