Advanced Regional Diploma - Offered in Walpole this November

The Advanced Regional Diploma is a 21-hour course designed for the coach working with 11-18 year olds. An emphasis is placed on the basic methods of coaching, teaching proper technique, the theory and application of offensive & defensive tactics & understanding team management. The third day is devoted to technical and tactical uses of small-sided games, the study of systems of play and a practice teaching component. Participants are given an opportunity to conduct a training session on an assigned topic and are assessed by the course instructor. We will likely be coaching various Walpole travel teams at the u11, u12 & u14 levels during this course. Walpole will sponsor & pay for current Walpole coaches who are interested in this class.
