The Football Australia Coaching Expertise Model was developed to give coaches and coach educators a clear picture of what knowledge and skills are required to operate effectively as a football coach.
Our vision on how to play football has been well-documented, through the publication of the National Football Curriculum and Football Australia’s Building Blocks of player development. The next step required, then, was to articulate a corresponding philosophy on how to coach football; in other words, we knew the kind of football we want to play and the kind of players required to play that way, so we also needed to know what kind of coaches we need to produce those players and develop the teams they play in.
