Coach Education
Supporting GAC Coaches through Education
Dear Coaches,
I want to start by saying thank you for committing to coaching with us here at GAC.
As Director of coaching, my role is to support you as best I can through a wide range of resources, which will benefit all members here at Guildford AC.
On this page you will be able to find coaching resources to help you on your journey, ranging from grassroots coaching courses we will be offering, to practice sessions, sample player profiles we will be offering on our Coach Resource page and much more.
Starting Fall 2025 GAC is excited to offer our coaches the opportunity to gain certification on the following four Canada Soccer Grassroots courses.
All of which will be run by the Director of Coaching at GAC, will take place at Hjorth Park Turf and will give our coaches a great opportunity to improve their coaching knowledge whilst staying at Guildford and using our quality facilities.
We strongly encourage all of our coaches to be certified, stay certified and continue to get certified, not only for their own personal development, but for the betterment of our players.
➼ Build Confidence – Learn age-appropriate coaching methods so you feel prepared and supported at every session.
➼ Improve Player Experience – Gain tools to create fun, safe, and engaging practices that help kids develop skills while loving the game.
➼ Support Our Club’s Growth – Certified coaches strengthen GAC’s programs, ensuring quality soccer for every player in our community.
I will look to help in any way that I can as we navigate coaching our players together.
If you need any additional help or resources, again feel free to contact anytime;
Tom Lowndes
