C Diploma Courses

The main focus of the required coaching competency on the C Diploma is on the technical aspects of the game, which includes teaching the techniques of passing, receiving, striking the ball and running with the ball, along with defending techniques to regain possession.

The required technical knowledge will be supported with an understanding of The Principles of Play and the fundamentals of coaching.

The minimum age to join the ‘C’ Diploma is 18 years old. The ‘C’ Diploma is a minimum of 60 hours in duration and is delivered in face to face contact over a period of several weeks or months.

Coaches must complete a Foundation of Football (FoF) course as a prerequisite before completing their C Diploma course.

FoF courses are regularly held by our Member Associations, so please liaise with your local association or visit the Football Australia website to view upcoming courses.
