Capital Football is proud to today announce the launch of its new Club Coach Coordinator Program (CCC). Run in conjunction with the Football Federation Australia (FFA), the program was born from an initiative of the FFA and the Australian Sports Commission and is to be a nationally rolled-out program.
The CCC aims to create a positive impact on player retention, satisfaction and experience by providing community coaches with the skills, resources and support to deliver fun, well-structured learning environments (training sessions).
The CCC will support clubs via bench-marking best practice coaching structures and deploying experienced coach developers to local club grounds at times that are convenient to the volunteer base that is the lifeblood of grassroots sport.
Capital Football have employed two Club Coach Coordinators to facilitate the program in the ACT region.
Mat Byrne will oversee the program in the Southside region, while Steve Ujdur will oversee it in the Northside region.

The CCC aims to provide support to local coaches via;
- Deployment of our experienced coach educators to support local clubs and their coaches with “on the job” training
- Develop and deliver on-line resources to aid in ongoing accessible education for coaches
- Establish a network of Club Coaching Coordinators to broaden the workforce promoting healthy lifestyle choices and delivering best practice learning environments
The outcomes the program seeks to achieve include;
- Increase in participant satisfaction

- Bench mark best practice
- Establish multi-faceted support channels via face to face contact, online resources, social media support networks etc.
The CCC will support the growth and development of individual coaches and consequently the local clubs.
