I forgot to note today's #soccer coach training.

I completed the entirety of Stage 5 of the #LittleKickers :lk: Level 1 Coach training program, which focused on Match Play & the Mega Kickers age group.

I also got about halfway through #RespectInSport's Keeping Girls in Sport course. I should be able to finish that up tomorrow.

I also received word from :gssc: about the on-field components for #CanadaSoccer's Active Start/FUNdamentals/Learn-to-Train programs. Nothing local until May 2024.

Wrapped up today's e-learning.

Today, I took my #soccer coach training another step and completed the FUNdamentals Online Theory course from #CanadaSoccer.

FUNdamentals focuses on children in U7 - U9 soccer. I completed the Active Start (U4 - U6) Online Module in mid-October.

While #LittleKickers :lk: doesn't require training with Canada Soccer, I think it'll help me improve my skills and help my players transition to :gssc:.

I've yet to do the on-field practical. Waiting for reply.

Just finished #CanadaSoccer's "Making Headway in #Soccer" course on #NCCP's training site.

It's a very good training module on concussions. I've gone ahead and passed on the link to the other #LittleKickers coaches in Sudbury/North Bay. Hopefully, more coaches will do the training so we can keep the kids safe on the field and in the gym.

There were some great resources attached as well, including a quick reference guide that I highly recommend for anyone coaching: https://lms.coach.ca/cac/makingheadwayinsoccer-en/dist/docs/parachute-guide-coaches-en.pdf
