On 7th October, UCAM hosted the 2nd Transnational Fit Football meeting in Murcia. The FIT FOOTBALL project supports UEFA’s initiative by creating a fitness coaching curriculum and a mobile app for grassroots football coaches. This will give coaches the tools and knowledge to run effective training programs, improve player development, and reduce injuries.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the project literature review, a draft course programme and dissemination.
On behalf of the ICCE, Gary Hodgson said:
“It was a pleasure to attend the 2nd Transnational Meeting for the FIT Football Project with our incredible hosts at UCAM in Murcia, Spain. The meeting helped us to understand the initial results of the project, including insights from grassroots football coaches and players, while also clarifying the important actions to not only move the project forwards, but also to enhance it. It continues to be a privilege to collaborate with all of the project partners in this exciting work”.
Partners of the project include the ICCE, FURIM Institutt, UCAM Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia, NYSA Sweden and Sagene IF.
