Football Queensland (FQ) has confirmed the expansion of the Coach Education Tutors (CET) program. This initiative emphasises a developmental focus on rural and urban communities across the state to benefit high-quality coach and player development.
FQ now has over 40 CETs in grassroots and foundation courses. The addition of eight new C Diploma and four new B Diploma tutors will be a cornerstone of FQ's 2023-2026 One Football Strategic plan and FQ's 2024-2026 Game Development Strategy.
The benefits of the expansion of the CETs program are as follows:
* Amplify the quality of coaching across Queensland
* Talent development support has increased
* Enhance player experience through access to qualified coaches
* Mentorship opportunities are available to new coaches
FQ General Manager – Football and State Technical Director, Gabor Ganzcer, spoke about the increase in the CET program and its benefits for FQ's long-term success in development.
"By providing quality training and upskilling opportunities, we foster a culture of excellence that resonates across all game levels. Every coach plays a crucial role in delivering a top-tier experience, and we are dedicated to equipping them with the best training available," he said in a press release.
"Expanding our network of CETs will not only enhance the quality of coaching across the state but also enrich the overall experience for players as access to more qualified coaches will empower our community and help nurture the next generation of football talent."
Football Australia's established interview process and thorough screening of new CETs ensure a high-quality football experience for more participants. Capitalising on modern technology and an updated learning/training program to upskill tutors, FQ will provide high standards of football education in regional and metropolitan Queensland communities.
FQ Technical Director – Coach Development, Davide Bartamini, highlights the strengthening of the community coaching framework.
"This is a proud moment for Football Queensland and an important advancement in our strategy to strengthen football education throughout the state, and we commend the dedication and hard work of all those involved in this process and celebrate the high calibre of the new CETs," he said in a press release.
"Additionally, with the latest accreditations, we now have 21 CETs qualified to deliver 'C' Diploma courses and four new 'B' Diploma CETs, bringing the total number of 'B' Diploma tutors to seven. This expansion, which includes representatives from regional areas, underscores our commitment to making football education accessible throughout Queensland and enhancing mentorship opportunities for coaches."
The enhancement of the CET program will send representatives to rural grassroots areas, focusing on statewide development. Making football accessible throughout Queensland and providing ample developmental initiatives to increase talent and participation are key long-term strategies for the state.
