This is usually referred to as ‘systems of play’ and/or a ‘style of play’ and involves teaching players in ’the big picture’. There is more emphasis on analysing effective ways of attacking and defending and teaching player behaviours in practices involving the whole squad and in games ranging from 9v9 to 11v11.

The ‘A’ Diploma is a minimum of 180 hours in duration and will be delivered mostly in blocks of 2-3 or 4 days, online and face to face over a period of 12 months.
