Creating Coach Mentors

We believe that coaches are the bloodline of the sport and coach development is a key lever in the development of the game in the country. A coach’s role often goes beyond training and interaction on the football field. Through the following two initiatives, the foundation gives opportunities to individuals interested in football to train children:

1. Creating licensed coaches:
   
   Along with Goa Football Association and the All India Football Federation, the Foundation provides an opportunity to coaches to learn and become licensed coaches.
   
   
2. Creating community coaches
   
   With an aim to empower coaches to become educators, this football-based programme is run by the Premier League and the British Council. Two of our coaches are thus licensed by the Premier League to spread the knowledge of the game by creating community coaches - these would be football enthusiasts who want to encourage children to participate, teach them the basics of the sport and help them to grow with the game.
