The Barbados Football Association (BFA) was founded in 1910
and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010.
Bridgetown,
Barbados – The Barbados Football Association
(BFA) yesterday launched its Coaching C-License Course at the BFA Technical
Centre in Wildey.
BFA Acting Technical Director and National
Senior Men’s Head Coach Kent Hall, in his capacity as a qualified Coach
Educator, will be facilitating the initial instruction period of the Course,
and will be supported by FIFA Coach Educator Developer Rajesh Latchoo as well
as Concacaf B-License Coaches Marlon Harte, National Senior Men’s Team
Assistant Coach, and Kerry Trotman, a graduate of the International Coaching
Course (ICC) Training through the Hungarian University of Sports Sciences
(HUSS), as part of their onsite mentorship component of the FIFA Coach
Educators’ Development Pathway.
Hall said the C-License Course will
give coaches from across the island the chance to hone their skills, use their experience
to positively influence local players, and ultimately continue to strengthen
the quality of football on the island.
The 24 Course participants will
undertake five days of intensive theoretical classroom and practical activities,
designed to assist with implementing a high standard of coaching throughout Barbados.
Key topics will include leadership, principles of play and coaching, and session
planning. This will be followed by a six-week supervised development period out
in the field.

President Randy Harris, who was present to officially welcome the coaches into
the Course, emphasized the Association’s philosophy of continuous improvement.
“Sustainable
football development requires us to build capacity and to continuously improve in
all areas of the sport, including coach education,” he said. “The BFA will
continue to lay a strong foundation through providing opportunities for our local
coaches to receive best practice coaching education, development pathways, and practical
training opportunities for the long-term development of football in Barbados.”
