Junior Coaching Courses Requirements · Yellow Fever Nga Wana Kowhai

Against my better judgement. I attended the course at capital football last night[/quote]

Top man! Well played.

Paul Greig who ran the course did a pretty good job, the reason I attended, is that I have committed to my team next year, despite the crap from this site about ulterior motives, I decided to eat humble pie and attend.[/quote]

Paul did a good job of my course also. Great dude and good addition to CF staff.

If everyone on this site took what was said to heart we'd be a town full of emos.

Good on you for re-committing to the team again. I'm sure they're good kids and there is absolutely no doubt that the game needs good volunteers.

What did I learn? just a little

Same, but "just a little" is still more than zero and that has to be a good thing right?

And, now we can both say we know what the very latest is.

[quote=lucious]did it cover the cost that my Club had to pay? No, did it even cover after 4 hours anything about Child Protection which is close to my heart?

I think the price is not unreasonable, but leaving that to one side I completely agree the course should cover Child Protection. NZ is behind the rest of the world in this.

[quote=lucious]this was just a process that Capital Football/ NZF have to go through to gain further funding to justify there existence.

I don't think that's fair. If you look at it from the perspective of a new coach then I think these courses are great, and value for money, and better than the ones that have gone before.

Making seasoned coaches re-sit them is a policy that can be debated but it's not the end of the universe and I enjoyed mine just as I'm sure you didn't hate yours if you're being completely honest.

Anyway, well played for taking the time to do the course. If nothing else you can now complain about it with much greater authority

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.
