The Leeds United Foundation are pleased to announce a new week-long coaching course with The Prince’s Trust, giving young people the opportunity to study for the I Can Lead Award.

Run by the club’s official charity, the Get Started in Football Coaching programme will run between Monday 5th August until Friday 9th August, with a taster day to be held for interested applicants at Elland Road on Tuesday 30th July.

Aimed at 16 to 30-year-olds interested in developing both coaching and interpersonal skills, the week-long educational course offers youngsters an insight into sports leadership, allowing them to build their confidence, progress their coaching and develop a future action plan.

The qualification does not require a formal assessment to complete the programme, and offers progression into different courses, such as FA Playmaker, FA Level 1, Sports Leaders Level 1 and/or 2.

Applications close on Friday 26th July. If you would like more information or would like to book onto the course, please contact [email protected].
