New free clinics to upskill grassroots coaches across Sunderland

Foundation of Light are set to upskill grassroots coaches across Sunderland with our FREE Coaches Clinics.

As part of the Foundation’s commitment to improve the lives of young people no matter their background, these free sessions will help local football coaches develop their techniques to get the best out of their participants.

The series of workshops are set to take place throughout 2025, with the first three sessions available to book now.

Each workshop will focus on developing grassroots football coaching skills, demonstrating potential technical and skill practices on specific themes.

Every session is designed to enhance the coaches’ understanding and delivery of essential techniques and principles.

The first three workshops will focus on key basics in passing and receiving, staying on the ball, and being hard to beat.
