17 March 2023 – The FIFA Youth Coaching Course concluded on Friday afternoon after a fruitful week on education and interactive discussions amongst the Coaches, MA Technical Directors and FIFA mentors.
Former Bafana Bafana Head Coach and current Kaizer Chiefs Technical Director Molefi Ntseki, presented an in-depth report on periodization for youth players and the importance of this element in the development of a player, while SAFA Technical Director Walter Steenbok presented a paper on the importance of player scouting.
