Introducing Whiteboard, a coach development pilot from BAFCA.

Throughout the Uniball season you can book a 60 minute session with our Coach Development team to talk through your scheme, or any challenge that crops up along the way, and get your offence firing.

Coach Developers work inside your system. Nobody is going to tell you to scrap what you run, and every session earns CPD points.

As this is a pilot we are covering the offensive side of the ball only. We will ask for your feedback after each session and again at the end of the season, so we can evaluate the programme and build the offering out from there.

Booking information will be released later this month, early expressions of interest can be submitted to [email protected]
