There are close to 200 coaches in the HKFC Junior Soccer programmes and all, except for our team of Technical Coaches and Head Coaches in the Youth Development Pathway and Lucky Mile programmes, are volunteers. All coaches are expected to achieve a minimum of FA Level 1 equivalent training. Our volunteer coaches undertake a Level 1 course that combines online and on-field education in coaching children in the game of football in a safe and effective manner. This course is organized, arranged and funded by the HKFC Junior Soccer Programme. We also have volunteer coaches go on to Level 2/C License coaching qualification, which prepares them for coaching at a more advanced level. Our Technical Coaches have a minimum of C License with many with A or B Level license qualifications. The HKFC Junior Soccer programme aims for a player:coach ratio of 7:1.
