GF/CONCACAF E Licence Course Already Bearing Fruit
Sunday 29th
January, 2017-St. George’s-
“I hope to see Grenada rising in the FIFA rankings soon.” A smiling Luis Swisher
was addressing participants at the end of the GFA/CONCACAF E Licence
Coaching Course.
He had just spent the last three (3) days training a mixture of teachers and football
enthusiasts to become more aware and effective coaches. Following the training, he
was confident in the ability of the participants. He said, “This was a fantastic group
of people. I am looking forward to them making a marked difference in Grenada’s
football.”
The E Licence Coaching Course seems to already be bearing fruit as participants
express their excitement. Hubert Philbert, a teacher at the Concord Government
School is already planning a grassroots programme in his school and community.
He said, “I have been an organizer of football competitions for many years and a
grassroots programme is an excellent avenue for development.”
GFA Vice President Patrick Francis thanked participants and promised other
opportunities to improve coaching levels. “The GFA is hoping to provide
opportunities for coaches to move upwards with D, C, B and A licence courses. “
Just over 50 participants completed the E Licence course which was supported by
CONCACAF.
