Supporting the Player
Parent - Short Course

A short course for parents

We strive to create a supportive environment for all players and would like to offer you the opportunity to be involved too. As parents you play a key role in your child's development on the pitch (as well as off of course!).

Working with the Oxfordshire FA, Active IQ and Activate Learning we have developed a certificated health-related activity short course for parents.

This course aims to:

• Explore the links between fitness and health and a further link to football.
• Understand more about lifestyle benefits to exercise and how you can support your child.
• Develop an understanding of football fitness.
• Support the understanding of Nutrition of a footballer and how you can help your child to fuel to maximise performance.
• Wellbeing through physical activity.
• Introduction to planning, how sessions run and how they link to matches.
• How to support development goals for your child in line with your coach.
• Plan a family or child orientated physical activity session using knowledge gained.

Format:

4 x Zoom sessions (1 per week over 4 weeks)

Tasks to complete relating to your child

Optional practical session.

The course is free to parents as its fully funded via our training provision.
