By Daily Sports on April 19, 2016

The first –ever CAF ‘A’ License coaching programme in the history of Nigeria started in Abuja on Monday, organized by the Nigeria Football Federation.

Before now, a number of CAF ‘B’ and ‘C’ License courses have been held in the country over the years. But the two –week programme that started at the FIFA Technical Centre, Abuja on Monday is the first CAF ‘A’ course in the country.

 “We are very happy that this programme is finally taking place. Previously, we had been doing CAF ‘B’ and ‘C’ courses. The ‘A’ License programme means that we are stepping up. I am also happy about the response of our coaches to this programme,” Amodu said.

 Assistant Director (technical) Rafiu Yusuf disclosed that over 40 persons registered for the two –week course, which will end on April 30.

 Yesteday, Amodu introduced the course content to the participants, while Chiefs Onigbinde and Laloko began the series on ‘Soccer Simplified’which will last for a number of days. Laloko also spoke on ‘Fitness for Success in Football’ and ‘Typical Training Session.’

 Today and Tomorrow, the ‘Soccer Simplified’ series will continue, and on Thursday, Director of Sports Medicine in the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports, Dr. Abdulkadir Muazu will speak on ‘Injuries and Rehabilitation, Recovery and Regeneration, Conditioning for Pros, Drug Testing and Fitness Testing Environmental Problems.’ Mr. Linus Mba will talk on ‘The Laws and the Coach; the Laws and the Spirit of the Game: Analysis of New Proposals.’
