TTFA President Raymond Tim Kee described the opportunity for local coaches to benefit from this exercise as timely and essential for local football development.

“I think this is timely and one that will allow many of our local coaches who have been craving such an opportunity to get involved and expand their knowledge on coaching at the youth level. This fosters an energized and  improving learning environment for our coaches and youngsters,” Tim Kee told TTFA Media.

“We are  delighted to be able to have this medium for our aspiring local coaches  in football and I hope it goes a long way as part of our development process,” he added.

Course Background

The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) launched its first D License coaching course in Mexico City, serving to reinforce the governing body's  vision and commitment to education, so that the standard of the game can be raised throughout the region. It is CONCACAF's first official licensing program for coaches and it will establish the foundation for the future proliferation of a comprehensive educational curriculum.

“This first CONCACAF D License course represents yet another milestone in the development of the Confederation,” said CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb to the 28 participants from the Spanish speaking Member Associations present at the inaugural ceremony. “It is our duty to educate the educators in order to unveil the true talent within each player.

The new licensing system, designed and executed by CONCACAF’s Development Office and funded by the Confederation as part of its on-going commitment to the growth of the sport, will provide coaches from across the region with a valuable, internationally recognized license, as well as the tools to impart that knowledge at the local level.
