Training and Development

 

Level 1 and 2 Coaching Courses

We are delighted that as part of the development of Touch in Europe, Dennis Coffey, one of the most established coaches from Touch Football Australia is coming to England in May 2010 to deliver Level 1 and 2 touch coaching courses and to continue establishing a formal touch coaching structure in England.
 
England Touch are now taking expressions of interest from people registered at affiliated venues to attend theses courses. Those passing the course will be awarded an internationally recognised Touch coaching qualification and be able to deliver formal touch player coaching courses at a beginners level.
 
(Please note that this course is only available to people registered at ETA affiliated venues)
