Welcome to the FAI Coaches Association Website

Welcome to the website of the FAI Coaches Association (FAICA) launched on Thursday 1^st December, 2011.

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) is the national governing body for the game of football in the Republic of Ireland and oversees the development of football in the country, from increasing participation levels to training coaches and developing players.

The FAI Coaches Association has been set up for coaches at all levels of the game from underage up to senior level who are looking to develop their knowledge and skills as a coach and want to access the current trends in coach education. We will provide coaches with useful and insightful coaching tips and advice including session plans (technical, tactical and fitness), video content, articles and interviews. Members will also have access to a top class Session Planning Software package

Membership costs €44.99 per year, including the Software. The cost of membership works out at 12 cents a day and we are absolutely committed to providing value for money to our coaches as the service develops over the coming months and years. 

Summary of Membership Benefits:

• Members Only website dedicated to Coaching with interviews, articles, video clips and printable Session Plans across all ages and levels of the game
• Included in your Membership Subscription is exclusive access to what we consider the best Session Planning Software in the business – used by Chelsea, West Ham, Fulham, the PFA and many others. This allows you to create superb diagrams, add text, save and print your own Session Plans. (See Sample diagram below created with the Software).
  
• Access to exclusive content from our underage International Managers. 
• Anyone signing up as a member before December 31^st 2011 will also get a “right to buy” option for tickets to Ireland’s next Aviva Stadium friendly as the build up to the EURO 2012 Finals begin.

We want this to be YOUR Association, we will welcome feedback and if you have ideas on how we can improve this service we will listen and respond. Enjoy!
