Last Wednesday, we were proud to continue supporting the development of people across our community through our EE Playmaker football workshop.
The EE Playmaker by England Football is a free, online, entry-level course designed for anyone aged 14+ who wants to begin volunteering in grassroots football, with no previous experience required.
Completed over 4-5 hours, the course focuses on the fundamentals of creating fun, safe, and inclusive football environments, covering key areas such as session planning, safeguarding, and inclusive coaching practices. It also includes dedicated learning around female football and para-disability, making it a valuable starting point for future community coaches and volunteers.
This course is ideal for anyone looking to take a more active role in grassroots football. Whether you are supporting your child’s local club, helping at your school, college, or university team, or looking to bring fresh ideas into your walking football sessions, EE Playmaker offers a fantastic introduction to the game’s core coaching principles.
No previous football qualifications were needed - just a passion for helping others enjoy the game.
Bristol Rovers Community Trust, Head of Inclusion Louis Howard, added:
“The EE Playmaker course is a fantastic way to open doors for people within our community who want to grow their confidence and develop new skills through football. By creating accessible learning opportunities like this, we are helping inspire the next generation of volunteers, coaches, and role models who can make a real difference in grassroots football.”
