National League System Coach Development opportunities

The FA is delighted to announce, in partnership with the LMA (Leagues Managers Association) and the LCA (League Coaches Association) a series of National League System Coach Development opportunities between March and June 2024.

This is part of the ongoing work to establish dedicated and relevant coach development content for those specifically working / operating in the National League System (senior 11v11) or aspiring to coach in 1st team NLS football. These CPD events will be free to attend and will attract UEFA Diploma Credits for those UEFA Licenced coaches requiring their 3 yearly revalidation.

We are delighted to confirm that we will be joined by Premier League Manager, Rob Edwards (Luton Town) as the LMA Guest on the first Session. Rob started his managerial life in the NLS at AFC Telford United. Other exciting guests will be confirmed shortly.

Further information on our face-to-face offer is to follow but for now we would appreciate you sharing amongst your County NLS Clubs and Coaching networks promoting the registration details of these new and exciting CPD opportunities.
