Coaching at AJFC
Coaching at Abbotsford Juniors Football Club
Abbotsford Juniors Football Club (AJFC), like many community football clubs, is dependent on our volunteer coaches to train, develop, mentor and support all our football players and their teams. These volunteers are ordinary people from across our community; our parents, relatives, carers and our players. Any member of our community, male or female, regardless of prior football experience, is encouraged to participate in what can be a very rewarding role as a coach or assistant coach.
Volunteers who register to become a coach or assistance coach are offered extensive support by the Club in the form of regular training opportunities and instruction, training equipment, online resources along with general coaching support and advice from AJFC Committee Members to ensure that they are successful in the role.
