It builds upon the Grassroots Leaders Certificate content and goes into the details of individual technique training and individual tactics, covering mainly 7 and 9-a-side football.
The UEFA C tackles a very delicate period in the development of the football player (up to 12 years old) and the coach needs to prepare the player through and in the game while considering the four pillars of development thoroughly.
