Football Victoria is delighted to announce its support of the INSPIRE FC Grassroots Coaching Conference in 2022.
Set to take place on March 19 2022, the INSPIRE FC Grassroots Coaching Conference will bring some of the best and brightest minds involved in grassroots football to the Australian football community for the first time.
INSPIRE FC has teamed up with 20 special guests from around the world to provide world class football education to grassroots coaches and provide a unique insight into how volunteer coaches can best prepare for the 2022 winter season.
FV is thrilled to support the conference, with FV Technical Director, Boris Seroshtan announcing the organisation's support;
“We are very excited to support the INSPIRE FC Grassroots Coaching Conference, the first of its kind, with a key emphasis on the development of community coaches.
