Participants in the free License D Coaching course in the Volta Region have received safeguarding training as part of their course. This session, aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone involved in football, was an integral part of the broader coaching curriculum.
Key topics covered during the training included child protection, ethical coaching practices, and the responsibilities of coaches in creating a secure environment for all players, especially minors.
The session stressed the importance of upholding high standards of conduct and integrity in all aspects of football.
The License D coaching course, offered as part of the Football Association’s initiative to develop grassroots coaching talent, is being provided at no cost to participants in the Central Region.
The inclusion of safeguarding training highlights the GFA’s dedication to the comprehensive development of coaches, equipping them not only with technical skills but also with the ethical and moral principles needed to guide and protect young athletes.
The course is expected to conclude with a final assessment, after which successful participants will be awarded the License D coaching certification.
