  • Coaches within the Development and Academy pathways are encouraged to complete their C Diploma over time.
  • Ongoing support is provided through mentoring, Technical Director observations, coach workshops, individual development plans, and access to example session plans and club resources.

Emerging Coaches Program @ PHFC

As part of our long-term strategy to recruit, develop, and retain coaches, PHFC is introducing the Emerging Coaches Program.

This program aims to identify and support future coaches from within our own playing group and football community and provide a clear onboarding pathway into coaching.

The program is targeted toward:

  • U16 & U18 FQA Boys,

  • U17 FQA Girls,

  • U23 players,

  • Senior QPL and Metro Men & Women players,

  • Masters players, or 

  • Parents with football experience who are interested in beginning their coaching journey.

Participants are assigned to one of our advanced junior teams as an assistant coach, allowing them to:

  • observe experienced coaches,

  • assist at training and games,

  • build confidence,

  • and gradually develop practical coaching experience within a supported environment.

All participants are supported to complete the Foundations of Football Course.

and also receive ongoing development sessions delivered by the Technical Director, Football Director, Technical Leads and senior coaching staff.

After a period of progression, coaches who demonstrate: strong engagement, coachability, leadership and coaching potential will be encouraged and supported to progress into the Advanced C Diploma Course.

PHFC intends to continue guiding these emerging coaches throughout the following 12 months of their coaching journey to help build confidence, capability, and alignment to the Pine Hills Way.

The Emerging Coaches Program also forms a key part of the club’s strategy to:

  • strengthen female coach representation,

  • build up and retain football knowledge within the club,

  • give people an avenue to contribute and give back to the club,

  • and create a sustainable internal coaching pipeline for future seasons.
