“Celtic FC Youth Academy now wants to give you the opportunity to observe first hand the coaching and development methods currently being used in the system right now to develop Champions League class player for the Club”
“The Celtic FC International Coaches Symposium will be overseen by Celtic FC Head of Youth and Academy, Chris McCart.”
Course level
The level of the course is comparable with UEFA B- (Basic) Course, with some elements of A- and Pro-level (especially the analysis of Pro-matches and special topics are on the highest level). Participants in this course will receive a Certificate of Participation. There will be no formal testing on knowledge and skills and coaches do not receive a diploma, due to the different entrance levels of the participants and the specific and non-comparable contents of this program in relation to other coaching programs.
- Good knowledge and experience of working with youth team and elite players
- A sound knowledge and understanding of age and stage of player development, systems of play and match analysis
