football3 is a way of playing football that promotes teamwork, inclusion and dialogue. It is a great tool for working with young people (but works for all age groups!) increasing social cohesion and exchange in your community.
GETTING CERTIFIED
Following the completion of each unit of the football3 course you will gain a digital badge. With each of these digital badges you can prove that you have the knowledge and skills needed to assist experienced mediators, trainers and coaches in their sessions.
After completing the mobile course, we encourage you to sign up for an in-person training with one of our accredited football3 partner organisations. By participating in the training, you will gain a certificate which enables you to take on full responsibility as a football3 mediator, trainer or manager.
