The FC Rep League also provides an opportunity for coaches to further their skills at a higher level. We have 16 teams and would prefer to have 16 coaches. Working with Youth teams would be an advantage and coaches will have to be endorsed by their club, prior to being appointed.
Please note: Coaches cannot coach in the age group they are registered in during the 2025 season and preferably will not be within their registrated clubs region. All training and games will be at designated venues. Coaches will also have to make themselves available to assist in the trials.
