Coaches

Start your coaching journey with Lancashire FA

Think back to when you were just starting out on your own footballing path.

You may have started kicking a ball around from a very young age, or it might have taken you a bit longer to discover you really enjoyed it.

Whether you started playing with your family or friends, at school or at a club, it's likely that somewhere along the way was an adult who encouraged and inspired you.

Dedicated and caring football coaches have the potential to do just that - and being a coach is, as a result, one of the most rewarding roles in football.

So if you believe you could have a positive impact on others, help them develop into better footballers and instill the love of the game into them, no matter the age, then coaching could be for you!
