Learning and development is an active, continuous process. It's a journey that never ends. And one that is shaped by experiences and learning opportunities gathered anywhere, anytime.

To support your journey, The FA provides a range of learning opportunities for you to engage with. From events in your region to online resources to in situ mentoring, you can access the development support that will make the biggest impact to you and your role.

Cumberland FA are currently developing a localised coach development offer which will involve the delivery of local events/workshops.

This practical based workshop will get you to consider 3 aspects of your sessions:

• Know your players – To be able to motivate them appropriately
• Know the game – To be able to get the balance right between repetition and realism
