Northern Suburbs Football Association is pleased to announce the evolution of the INSPIRE Coach Support platform as we strive to deliver best-practice coach education, support, and development to the 1,200 coaches in the region.
In its fifth year of widespread use throughout NSFA, INSPIRE has become a cornerstone of support to the region’s grassroots coaches, providing simple, accessible, and engaging content to support coaches on their journey throughout the season. Since 2017, the INSPIRE resources have serviced over 3,000 coaches by providing session plans, articles, blogs, videos, and podcasts to support coaches as they create a positive playing environment and experience for their players.
In 2022, INSPIRE will be relaunched as ‘INSPIRE FC’ becoming an online video platform to further service and support our coaches, along with providing ongoing coach development opportunities to people wherever they are, whenever they have time. Accessibility is key in supporting our volunteer workforce and we believe through the ongoing support and development of coaches we can provide a better football experience for all involved, increase our retention rate of players and coaches in the game, and ultimately improve the development of all involved.
