Successful Coach Education Course in Georgia

IFCPF have delivered a three day CP Football course in Tblisi, Georgia, in which 17 very motivated participants have learned about CP Football and what it means to coach football players with CP. The course was a combined effort of the Georgian Football Federation (GFF) and the National Sport Federation of Children with Disabilities of Georgia.

The first day the main learning areas were about CP Football in general and an introduction to classification. The second and third day focused on training design, coaching and development. The Head Coach of the Russian CP Footballl team, Mr Avtandil Baramidze, also attended the workshop to provide support to the course tutors and share his vast experience in CP Football. After three days of hard work, all participants passed the course and received the IFCPF coach education certificate from the grassroots manager of GFF, Mr. George Akhvlediani.

The course was held at the accommodation of GFF, where main organizer Georgi Kenchuashvili organized the course in a very professional way. The Federation will keep providing support to the National Sport Federation of Children with Disabilities of Georgia, through their Social Responsibility Program.

Course tutors René Jurrius and Tom Langen have a very positive feeling about the potential in Georgia, and IFCPF will continue to work with both national organisations for the positive development of CP Football.
