CheddarReds Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi all, I'm currently a football coach for U9 and U10 age groups. This is my third season of coaching these age groups. I'm booked in to do my first youth module and hope to book my second one soon. I'm also doing a sports course in college and have been accepted to do sports coaching at university. I wondered how much experience other people had on here before they have done their level 2 badge. I'd obviously like to do it as soon as I'm ready but also do not want to rush it. I'm hoping your experiences might help me! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs4Red Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 You'll be fine mate, there isn't much difference between the two and the one, just a little more tactical. Trust me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think you'll find most on here have the top level UEFA Pro Licence, gained from watching the Football League Show a couple of times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's people like you who deserve a pat on the back for giving these youngsters something to look forward to week after week . Good work !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I used to coach children up to the age of 14. Took my qualifications up to UEFA B, but I fell out of coaching due to the parents. Shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame some can be difficult. Especially when you are trying to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 With my cynical hat on - doesn't seem to matter what level a referee is, they're all incompetent at punishing dissent or spotting cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 No idea about Level 2 but you'd literally have to try to fail the Level 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Level 2 is pretty easy too. You'd have to be pretty special to not pass level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I don't have any coaching badges sorry. I do have a Jim'll Fix It badge. And a nervousness around northerners in track suits. When you get your level two, please don't be tempted to become a track suit coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
