Latest news from the Essex FA
Up to 600 football coaches will receive bursaries towards their course fees after the FA and the Essex FA pledged a combined £30,000, marking the release of a brand new range of dates and venues for local courses.
Demand is expected to be high for the much-anticipated schedule which is usually published every six months at www.essexfa.com.
The Essex FA have been granted just under £20,000 by the FA to put towards coach education and the Association have added their own pledge, bringing the total up to £30,000.
Anyone over the age of 19 can apply for a bursary worth £50 towards Level 1 or 2 courses of the Youth Award Modules 1 and 2, which can be claimed during the online booking process.
With the Level 2 course, candidates will be awarded a £50 refund upon successful completion.
There is no deadline for applications - the scheme will finish when the money runs out.
