UEFA partners GFA to organize coaching clinic for women’s U-15 coaches

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) in collaboration with UEFA Assist is organizing a 3-weekend virtual coaching clinic for selected women U-15 coaches across the country.

The course which is being conducted by FIFA/UEFA Coaching Instructor Hesterine De Reus is set to begin on Saturday, March 27, 2021, and will end on Saturday, April 10, 2021.

Participants will be mainly Physical Education (PE) teachers drawn from across the regions and also all the Regional Football Association Women’s U-15 development coaches.

The coaching clinic will be held via zoom and is scheduled for three consecutive Saturdays, which are March 27, April 3 and April 10, 2021, respectively.
