Coaching & Education
If we wish to develop players capable of competing at the highest level, we will have to tap into the potential of our massive ‘youth soccer population’. We need to focus on bringing them into the system through well planned scouting & player development programs. Only coaches with an eye for talent & players development can help KFA achieve this goal.
