Is there a criteria to being able to gain a 'C' licence? or to gain a 'B' licence after gaining C?
Do coaches get much money offered to them in the state league? In a sense so that there is high quality coaches available/ lured in?

I think you'd be very surprised to see the $$$ NBN coaches get... i know of three 1st grade coaches that are on $10,000+

[late_to_the_game]

Just looked on the federation page and I believe it is $1300 (no accommodation), for approx 5 or 7 days for C?
Doesn't say anything about a criteria, only for B saying you need C.
What do they class as high level? I understand being a professional player would be advantage, but surely so wine who is not a pro should be able to go as high as they wish, providing they prove themselves!
They may know the game better than anyone

The price has come down recently - they are trying to make it more available, as well as running regional courses split in parts to make it easier to do.
I did a central course run over two straight weeks.
There is no need to have played at a high level, it just means you probably don't need the coaching experience part. They may have changed the entrance requirements since I did it. Best to call the FFA directly and ask.
If you had not coached at all, and turned up to the course I did, you would have struggled big time.

So I took note of the number of views for this thread before posting the NNSW stuff. There have been 431 views in 12 hours.
I get a little frustrated that NNSW does not make this information more easily available.
Even allowing for MFKS, ForeverRed and Zico checking on each others insults, that is a lot of people keen to find out what is going on.....

[boz-monaut]

or a lot of search engine bots

I'm not saying you're wrong but don't read too much into it

Cheers for the updates answered a lot of questions I had.In regards to the coaching certs surely they're not gunna shaft a successful coach over the years just because he doesnt have a C or B licence.Some people will struggle for the time off and also the coin if clubs dont help them out.I can point you in the direction of 2 or 3 coaches in newy and scum land with an A licence who have absolutely no idea of the game

The interesting thing is that there are a lot of aspects to coaching - so Rado Vidosic is probably the best assistant coach in the country, but not a good head coach - different skills required.
I also overheard a conversation about Ron Smith (AIS Head coach for quite a while). They described him as the best "technical coach" they had ever seen, but tanked when in charge of Perth Glory. I heard him lecture at a coaching conference a couple of years ago, and he is really impressive.

Melbourne Heart FC Head Coach John Aloisi and newly appointed assistant Hayden Foxe have lavished praise on former AIS Head Coach Ron Smith after he was recently confirmed as the Club’s Technical Advisor.

Smith arrives at Heart boasting unrivalled experience in the coaching realm, having played an instrumental role in the development of Australian football’s golden generation.

Aloisi and Foxe are among the litany of Australian football luminaries to have learned their trade under Smith at the Australian Institute of Sport, which include the likes of Mark Viduka, Lucas Neill, Craig Moore, Ned Zelic and Josip Skoko.

Seldom would it not be imperative of these clubs employing these coaches to fund their coaching certificates to be up to scratch?? Any self respecting club should be making sure adequate funding is going into making sure their coaching staff are qualified enough to do the job?? Considering the NBN clubs are paying their players the least they should be doing is funding their coaches.

Over a few years the pool will continue to grow as more and more get the certificates.

I am sure if I read that correct the costs of these courses were gonna be subsidised too by the NNSW Fed as well

As for the levels below that the need for the higher end certs wouldn't be as high and will be picked up in time

[sutho]

I already know what most of the clowns on here response will be but...

Am I the only one who can see the benifits of having 2-3 Central Coast teams and a Port Stephens base team in our top 2 divisions

maybe they should be in nnsw. there is plenty of quality on the coast with nowhere to go. Player points system will stop them getting snapped up by Valo

[late_to_the_game]

A question, I was told this week that a team relegated from the NBN has to wait 3 years before they can be promoted again. Is this true?
Found no mention of this in the recent NPL information.

[Zico]

Is this the start of the clubs actually standing up for themselves against the FFA? http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/27803...pl-crisis.aspx

[Premy]

Comparing apples and oranges here Zico.
You'll find most of the Clubs in Victoria are actually upset because FFV lack of consultation and the proposed changes are not in line with the NCC. Northern's directive follows the guidelines set by the NCC apart from the 22's The NCC recommended a 20's. This is old news by the way Melbourne Knights and Green Gully lead the withdrawals of applications over a month ago now South Melbourne and Northcote have pulled the pin its gathered momentem.
Apples and Oranges no comparison as to what's happening in NNSW

So the rumours are that there will be a 12 team comp, but for the "Juniors" (13,14,15,17s) of the NPL only.
So Valentine will stay in this (junior) comp, add Adamstown and a set of teams from Mid North Coast.
The Valo "seniors" 19, 23, 1sts will be in NewFM.

[JCBT]

If VPFC stay in the comp then the Fed are a bunch of ****wits. How can you have promotion/relegation but move the goal posts every week?
They have a shithouse set up for a home ground, **** all supporters and a piss weak playing roster that do nothing to promote the massive junior base they have at their mercy. **** them off and add Adamstown and Maitland.

[EH9]

Rumour I heard today is that VPFC will move from Cahill Oval to Southern Beaches rugby fields in Mount Hutton from next season.

Is this a step up ?

[EH9]

Depends how much rugby gets played on it during the season.

What a ****n joke of a club! If this is true how can they stay in the comp? Just **** the turds off and be done with it!!!!
