About the course

Football is a dynamic game that requires players to be adaptable and strong decision makers.

To achieve this, coaches need to engage players and be competent at designing relevant, game-like practices. Coaching in this way ensures that players are able to develop, practice and prepare for competition.

With this in mind, the UEFA B is designed for coaches who are working in the game or have aspirations to work in the game across the professional talent pathway; Male, Female, Para football. Coaches who are working in non-league football steps 1-4 of the Male National League System and Tiers 1-4 of the Female Football Pyramid.

The UEFA B Licence will help you understand the demands of the game and how to meet the needs of players as they build a deeper understanding of their various roles and responsibilities within the team.
