The course, 'Heroes of the Cruyff Courts', equips coaches with the skills and knowledge to inspire youngsters to take social action and organise sports events and activities within their local community.
Using football, the project aims to strengthen the bond between young people and their community, improve the physical and mental wellbeing of children and develop their confidence and life skills.
Local youngsters will create their own community sport event as part of an eight-week project, with the newly-qualified coaches supporting in key business functions such as financial budgeting, marketing, event planning and delivery.
