All first time applicants MUST attend one of these dates.

A typical Assessment Day will be similar to as follows.

1. A short presentation on Challenger Sports?
2. Practical coaching demonstration from one of our senior staff.
3. 10 - 15 minutes coaching session ran by each candidate.
4. Individual face to face interview to determine the candidate's suitability to the programme.

Your Assessment

We will use this time to begin evaluating which age groups and levels of players your personality and coaching style would be best suited for. Your short coaching session lasting approx. 10 - 15 minutes should be taken from one of the topics below. 

Please use the Blank Lesson Plan to plan your session - It is important you have completed this so we can see your progression on paper.

• Close dribbling & Turning
• Shooting
• Heading (Attacking or Defensive)
• Short Passing
• Control

N.B. For more information on how to set up your Challenger Sports Assesement please see our Stages In A Coaching Progression document.

We would like to see you set up a basic unopposed technical practice and gradually add elements of pressure & opposition and aiming to finally finish in a game related activity. As the majority of our campers are between the ages of 7 and 12 we recommend that you create your coaching plan as if you were coaching 12 players of average ability aged 12 years old. We will be looking for you to demonstrate the following:

• Set up of the appropriate coaching area
• Communication of clear instructions to the group
• Stepping in and coaching an individual within the group
• Gradually adding pressure
• Enthusiasm and good use of voice
• Progression of your practice from unopposed, to opposed, to game related.

• Signed copy of your Programme Agreement          
• Reference Form           
• Blank Coaching Plan
• Pen and Paper
