What qualifications do I need to coach Youth football?

Modified on Fri, 28 Feb at 12:14 PM

In order to become a Coach or Team Manager in Youth football at the grassroots level there are no requirements. All that is required is a CONFIRMED registration on COMET. 


If you are looking to become a First Aider, you will require and the following to be in date.

  • FAW Emergency First Aid Award


We would also recommend completing the below, although this is not mandatory for either a Coach or First Aider role.


  • FAW Safeguarding Award
  • FAW Football Leaders Award
  • Enhanced DBS Check for Regulated Activity
