The course organized by the Football Association for the first time in collaboration with UEFA, the UEFA B Fitness Coach, which certifies physical conditioning coaches, successfully concluded this week.
A total of 33 candidates participated in the course, including several current physical conditioning coaches for teams in the “Abissnet Superiore” league, while others attended this type of training for the first time.
The UEFA B Fitness Coach course started in September and concluded on December 16, when the final exam took place. Over the course of 4 months, 4 blocks of theoretical and practical training sessions were held, with 3 of them being monitored by UEFA delegate Chris Barnes, who provided valuable feedback and suggestions for further improvement of the program.
This course represents an important step in the professional development of physical conditioning coaches and in improving the quality of training in Albanian football. Special attention during the lectures and practical sessions was given to women’s and youth football.
The new course dates for 2025 will soon be published, and interested individuals will be able to find information regarding registration procedures, fees, and the course structure.
