The new Coaching Development Sub Committee brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to offer guidance and support for our Coaches as they teach, develop and encourage our players to be the best footballers they can be in a positive and engaging environment through Teamwork – Respect – Mentoring.  FJFC is in a great position and the evolution of our Coaching Development Subcommittee is something that really sets us apart from other clubs.

Having the resources to assist and develop our Coaches is something we don’t take for granted, and tapping into the experience of the people we know and trust is super important to maintain the standards we aspire to and aligns with the increasing growth of our Club for now and the future.  Some of the key aspects the Coaching Development Subcommittee provide are:

  • Assist with coaching appointments and reviews
  • Age group list management during registration and throughout the season
  • Help facilitate player movement between teams when applicable.
  • Observe and keep abreast of any issues
  • Offer guidance to coaches where necessary
  • Assist with age specific sessions during the season
  • Preparing end of season reports and surveys
  • Facilitate coaches development courses/training sessions
