Did the old Level 0 when I started out a few years back but haven't seen or done the new Kickstart module. I'm assuming it's pretty much the same as before with the focus on the key learning skills for younger kids - the FUNdamentals!! Have they incorporated more emphasis on the small sided games? I know the FAI were running 'small sided games' as a separate course but it made more sence to me to have that incorporated into the kickstart programme. Do you know who the tutor on the course? I wonder if Jimmy McDermott & Maurice Price are still invloved with the coach education setup. Two excellent coaches whom I learned a lot from during nay coaching sessions I did with them. Used to bump into Jimmy up in Total Fitness on the Malahide Road when I was in Dublin and get a great tactical discussion in the hydroterapy pool....!!!! Two real football men with a wealth of knowledge and some great stories.
