Mumbai, Jun 2 (PTI) Football grassroots coaching programme in the country today received another shot in the arm with the largest ever contingent of 298 physical education teachers successfully completing AIFF’s ‘D’ Licence certification course.
The training and certification programme was conducted by Reliance Foundation Youth Sports (RFYS) along with ACG Worldwide under the aegis of All India Football Federation, a media release issued here said. The 298 ‘D’ Licence coaches are now expected to spread the grassroots football movement through their school and community outreach programmes. AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das expressed satisfaction at the way the training module was professionally conducted in the eight cities for the PE Teachers, terming it as “the largest ever contingent of D Licence coaches passing the examination”. “We need more such collaborative efforts and commitment from corporates, sponsors and individuals in the future to create a vast resource of certified D Licence coaches, who further will engage and impart appropriate age specific grassroots football training to youths in their respective schools and community.” PTI
