fucking hell, i wondered why i never posted on this forum. people like you lot. anyway, i didnt say i disagreed with the whole point of child protection and yes i know why it is important, i said the way they presented it was a load of bollocks.
oh and just another note. the coach pulled 3 of us out, took our numbers and said we were more than capable of doing level 2, so hows that? goodbye.
child protection is the biggest load of bollocks iv ever witnessed, 3 hours of sitting there and someone rambling on about children. you would swear he was a pedo. theres no test for the child protection, so i dont see the point in doing it? and lastly the coaching, very basic, and slightly biased, very easy to pass, aslong as you dont make a fool of yourself,
however i did this 3 months ago and no certificates have come through in the post, about any of them and iv applied for my level 2 with the same guy so i have passed. very strange.

In their defence, you do contridict yourself a bit in the above 2 quotes. You also explained that the way the coach taught wasn't very good but then you are pleased that he picked you out to be good at it. so you either respect his opinion in teaching you or you don't.
Don't be like that. Hang around, you're funny. Every time you get the urge to swear, you could type 'LEVEL 1', that way you won't get kicked off for bad language.

Unbelievable. This is a forum after all so I don't know why I expected anything less. Great example to youngsters of the english language. Well done on being told you could do level 2. I was just giving you some advice. I know plenty of people who have been in Football at a decent level who failed or just scrapped through level 2. It's not as easy as you might think or have been told.

It is tough, and also depends who your tutor is, I know people who have passed the level 2 and still dont practice what I would call basic stuff.
I had Keith Boanas doing mine and he was incredibly tough, he wouldnt put anybody though on level 2 jsut for turning up for the week. Honestly think only 3 of our group passed first go, the others had to go away (me included who thought he knew alot about football), practice harder, enforce the basics and be confident then come back when there was another opportunity.
It was well worth not passing as I obviously wasnt ready. I have come accross other coaches who passed level 2 first go and to term a phrase they are crap.

can see why you was a bit touchy last week now - no shame in failing. Some will find it easy, some won't. That's life.
Oh no mate that wasn't nothing too do with it. Just had dealing with that sean fella for other reasons and found him to be up his own arse. He was nothing to do with my level 2, he was however on my level 1 and seemed to revel in his power over people who quite clearly don't know as much as him. I loved ny level two and was one of the best weeks learning I've ever done. It is a great bonding session and you won't get 30 odd people work so hard for each other in many other aspects.

You're right although personally i think if you don't pass first time, you should be awarded a Level 2F and if it takes 2 goes at it, it should be a level 2FF and so on with the natural football brains therefore possibly being fast tracked. Too much emphasis on effort and not enough on natural ability has got us to the workmanlike standard that exists at the top level in our national game.
Did the 2nd of the 3 day course on Saturday. First aid in the morning with Mickey Cole and then Sean Daly organised some coaching drills on the astro turf in the afternoon. Both top guys who really know there stuff and are genuinely approachable and enthusiastic about what they do. Final part this Saturday where we have to present our own training drill. Be glad once it's done and i can get back to training the kids Saturday mornings but a course well worth doing. Lovely environment down there at Sparrows Lane and the pitches are absolutely immaculate. In the premiership days they stopped you from entering and watching the training / matches. Is that still the case?
I'm starting level 1 tomorrow (3 full weekend days and two twilights for the first aid and CP). I'm a primary school teacher and need to do level 1 in football, rugby and cricket by next summer.
Out of interest, how much physical activity is involved/essential. Just come back from a bad injury is all.
Not a lot and they usually make allowance for it. I had some coaches from Chelsea doing mine and they we actually very good.
I did my Level 1 18 months ago as my Son's team needed a coach. The course is more of a reality check and sets some basics. I've had to self learn on a few things since to keep it fresh and add interest for the boys in training - any tips or links would be appreciated.
The team is U10 and the thing this year is how some boys are really stepping up but others still show no enthusiasm or ability. It'll be interesting at the end of this season when I tell some parents their kids aren't require next year despite the fact we move from 7-a side to 9 or 11.
Oh and if any of you go and watch your children play any sport and behave in anything but an impeccable manner on the sidelines, hang your heads in shame.

May I ask, what team do you coach. I ran an under 10 team too.

maybe it varies as to where you take the course because when i did it at charlton (3 saturdays finishing last weekend), there was no phsical activity the first week but the next two, you were effectively taking part in a 3 hour training session. My dodgy ankle got a good workout and was sore after and if you don't havea reasonable level of fitness you will struggle a bit.

Well they seemed pretty ok with me watching the practice which was basically the other attendees taking part in a basic training drill (in the rain!). The theory this morning was long and drawn out for what it was (I hate that) but the resources they give you are very good in my opinion. Need to organise a training session for next Sunday which will last 15 mins. Pretty happy with how it went overall, good value for money so far.
DA just a reminder from my original post in this thread..........
When it comes to the practical, remember to set out your area for ALL of your drills before you start - you cannot stop your practical to rearrange cones etc etc, just use all the space you need and move the players around as necessary.

See you took everything on board about CP then. Plenty of kids read this board.

I have passed level 2 but did fail it first time.
not sure how to do indidividual replies but in answer to the question, the club i belong to organised the course so i'm really not sure.
