Once you've completed the EE Playmaker by England Football course, you will have the knowledge and skills to help a 'named coach' in youth football teams and/or a 'Lead Playmaker' on our participation programmes, with the delivery of football.

This means you can help them in making safe, fun and inclusive football happen, but you cannot lead football sessions yourself.

Please note: In most cases those working with children will require an In-date, FA-accepted DBS check and they will be subject to safer recruitment processes. A DBS check will depend on the eligibility requirements, e.g. individuals must be 16 or above to apply for a DBS check.

If you want to take on a leading role, but know that coaching isn't for you, there are some more steps you can complete to become eligible to apply for 'Lead Playmaker' roles in FA participation programmes.

Daniel Lakens | Improving your statistical inferences

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About this course: This course aims to help you to draw better statistical inferences from empirical research. First, we will discuss how to correctly interpret p-values, effect sizes, confidence intervals, Bayes Factors, and likelihood ratios, and how these statistics answer different questions you might be interested in. Then, you will learn how to design experiments where the false positive rate is controlled, and how to decide upon the sample size for your study, for example in order to achieve high statistical power. Subsequently, you will learn how to interpret evidence in the scientific literature given widespread publication bias, for example by learning about p-curve analysis. Finally, we will talk about how to do philosophy of science, theory construction, and cumulative science, including how to perform replication studies, why and how to pre-register your experiment, and how to share your results following Open Science principles. In practical, hands on assignments, you will learn how to simulate t-tests to learn which p-values you can expect, calculate likelihood ratio's and get an introduction the binomial Bayesian statistics, and learn about the positive predictive value which expresses the probability published research findings are true. We will experience the problems with optional stopping and learn how to prevent these problems by using sequential analyses. You will calculate effect sizes, see how confidence intervals work through simulations, and practice doing a-priori power analyses. Finally, you will learn how to examine whether the null hypothesis is true using equivalence testing and Bayesian statistics, and how to pre-register a study, and share your data on the Open Science Framework. All videos now have Chinese subtitles. More than 10.000 learners have enrolled so far!

Strength & Conditioning Workshops

The UKSCA is very proud of its workshops. The content has been developed and honed over the last 15 years by the best in the business - coaches who have worked with top athletes from Team GB, premiership football and rugby teams, county cricket teams to name but a few. If you attend a UKSCA workshop you can be sure you are getting the best instruction available, at a great price.

The UKSCA Foundation workshop provides a fantastic grounding in all aspects of S&C, and is equally appropriate for PE teachers, sports coaches or physiotherapists as it is for those setting out on a career as a S&C coach.

The higher-level workshops build on the foundation, and delve into the different aspects of S&C in much more depth. The workshops are definitely a great way of preparing for the ASCC assessment, but they also stand on their own as an amazing learning experience and showcase the very latest thinking in S&C anywhere in the world.

Details, Availability, and Booking can be accessed via the links below...
