Coaches & Team Managers

We rely on our parents participation with coaching & managing our teams. Roselea FC provides all the support our parent coaches & manager need. We high recommend coaches to attend the Grassroots coaching course. The course is fully practical and encourages our coaches to develop practices that are based on FUN. The emphasis is on natural development i.e. learning by PLAYING football. Another highlight of the course is that the coaches are exposed to basic rules of the game as well as tips and hints on building a football culture in a completely practical setting.
