This week, The Football Association launched The FA Licensed Coaches’ Club their new coaching licensing scheme. AVC’s coaching tool TactX brought to you by UEFA Training Ground will be one of the featured benefits available to all member coaches.

The FA Licensed Coaches’ Club aims to raise standards in coaching across the game by ensuring that coaches receive up-to-date training and support with coaching techniques and advice.

AVC Media Enterprises’ Sports Director, Lesley Little, tells us more about the benefits of TactX’s integration in The FA Licensed Coaches’ Club “TactX gives coaches the ability to create and communicate their coaching philosophy with ease. The 3D animations within TactX provide a visual representation of their drills helping to overcome communication barriers. Using TactX for preparation and communication in advance of sessions allows for much more productive use of time on the training field."

“The FA understands the benefits of using a tool such as TactX and wanted this to be available to their coaches. As UEFA always look to support Grassroots initiatives throughout their Member Associations, they have agreed to support and subsidise TactX’s integration with The FA Licensed Coaches’ Club.”

“AVC are delighted to be involved with the FA at the start at what should be an exciting new development which aims to improve the game as a whole.”

TactX is already being used worldwide and has established a large grassroots customer base as well as an impressive portfolio of premiership teams such as Manchester City and Aston Villa.
