I am not pleased at all with this mandate coming from the JFF.
It is my understanding that if you do not attend this football coaching school at Utech and is able to pass the courses there you will not be allowed to assign your name to the match card as the coach of your respective team.
Well here is the problem, what the hell is the role of GC Foster College?
Football is one of the courses that the students go into depth as a requirement to pass the course. From the History of the game, to the rules of the game where no stones is unturned as the lecturers make sure that every single rule is discussed and analyzed. Then there is team preparation and training for all of the systems such as principles of attack and defense in formation. Not to mention the breaking down and explaining the mechanics of the technical skills of ball control and passing (kicking). Also there is the teaching of the sciences of why the human body react as they do. Then at the degree level the students are put even further into the sport as they learn how to manage the sport.
As far as I know, the level at which the lecturers take the students at GC Foster is far deeper than what will be offered at this coaching school. Just the sciences alone makes your head spin if your not too keen on science and you have to pass them to progress along in attaining your diploma or degree.
But yet still after doing all of the above at GC Foster , you have to enroll at the coaching school located at UTECH, do the courses which are a repeat of the courses offered at GC, and I am sure will not go as deep, just in order to be allowed to coach your school or community team.
The least that can be done is that every student who graduate from GC Foster at the diploma level should be accredited from the JFF with a level one coaching certificate and those who posses a degree, a level two certification.
