The number of newly qualified coaches coming on stream each year through the FAI’s Coach Education Program is one of the good news stories in Irish Football, although it tends to get overshadowed by the poor performances of both the Irish Senior International team and the League of Ireland representatives in European competitions.
The highly regarded program produces many top-class coaches, some of whom operate in high profile LOI club positions but the majority of them ply their trade at grassroots and schoolboy football level.
There was another enhancement of the coaching landscape in Ireland recently with the launch of a new coaching book aimed at coaches who operate at local level in schoolboy/schoolgirl clubs around the country.
