The SFA Coach Education Courses give coaches the opportunity to develop and to improve their knowledge and understanding
of our National Game.
On the 21st of August 2005 Brian Hamilton and John Gervaise from the SFA and East Renfrewshire Council, held a Coaches Education day
specifically for ERSDA and its members. This day was a huge success, although it is hoped that every club involved with ERSDA
would be able to send along a coach for each of their teams in the future. Some photograghs of the occassion were taken and are shown below.

The courses are split into 4 categories:-
- Children
- Youth
- Adult and

Coaches must follow the progressive pathway from Level One to Level Two, Level Three and onto Level Four.
All applicants will receive a video, booklet and certificate of attendance. The SFA/East Renfrewshire run a comprehensive
Coach Education Programme in this area.
