AFC COACHES PATHWAY
AFC believes in developing the game throughout its grass-roots to a high standard. Therefore, each Junior team must have at least ONE accredited coach available on the sidelines at all time. Non-accredited coaches may ‘Assist’, however can not take sole control of a team. Failure to have an accredited coach with a team will result in either ‘forfeit’ or suspension. Once accredited you will be recognized under AFC Coaching guidelines.
