450 coaches from various states across India have taken part in the Online Refresher Course for AFC/AIFF ‘C’ Diploma coaches and as they continue to move forward together, the structure of the course has now been revised in order to encourage more participation.

A total of 15 courses have taken place so far, with sessions conducted on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 7:30-9:00 am. Now, as per the revised structure, one course will be conducted over two weekends, i.e., Saturday, Sunday, Saturday, Sunday, to complete all four sessions. The session timings will be the same, 7:30-9:00 am.

It is being done in order to help the coaches who cannot attend the course on weekdays, as many organisations, schools and academies have started to open up across India.

The next course is scheduled to take place from August 14, 2021 (Saturday). The first session will kick off on August 14, followed by subsequent sessions on August 15, 21 and 22. The registration window has been opened today (August 8, 2021) on the Coach Education Portal.
