FA Level 3 (Uefa B) in Coaching Football FAQs
This internationally recognised qualification develops the core principles of the England DNA that relate to –
How We Coach, How We Play, How We Support and The Future Player.
It will help you refine your own beliefs, values and coaching/playing philosophy while supporting you to
develop your players, units and team. We will ask you to look at the players you work with and explore
how you can help develop them through designing practices that meet their technical and tactical, physical,
psychological and social needs. We will also help you to understand the demands of the game and how
to meet the needs of players as they build a deeper understanding of their various roles and responsibilities
within the team.
It will help you to reflect on, realise the impact of, and justify the decisions you make, whilst encouraging a
long-term view of player development that links to player performance.
