Football is evolving in India in a big way, and going forward SAI and AIFF will take up many such interesting projects together,\u201d Mr. Pradhan informed.<\/p>\n<p>Coaches from all over the country have signed-up for the course &#8212; with Coaching Instructors of AIFF and even Senior Men\u2019s National Team Head Coach Mr. Igor Stimac, and Technical Director Mr. Isac Doru delivering lectures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is for the first time that SAI in association with sporting federations in the country has created training modules for coaches in 16 disciplines and all the sessions are taking place simultaneously. We have been able to get the best experts in every field to hold the training sessions and the participation of coaches has been overwhelming in every discipline,\u201d Mr Pradhan further stated.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, AIFF General Secretary Mr Kushal Das believes that the online course will help the attending coaches to \u201crefresh\u201d their knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two-week refresher coaching course is a brilliant initiative. AIFF understands the value of going digital, and as the entire country stays locked down at home we are glad to provide the coaches an opportunity to refresh their knowledge. I need to thank SAI for their support and cooperation,\u201d the AIFF General Secretary said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI encourage all young coaches involved in grassroots and youth development to register and learn as they will be able to learn from the best coaching educators and instructors in the country, as well as interact with the AIFF Technical Director, and the Head Coach of the Senior National Team,\u201d Mr. Das urged.<\/p>\n<p>The AIFF had earlier held an online referee\u2019s course, and also facilitated another online meeting for coaches to discuss the future course of action. In addition, the League Committee meeting was also held online last week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-26247\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Football-icon-isn.jpg\" alt=\"Football icon isn\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" width=\"260\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Football-icon-isn.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Football-icon-isn-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>AIFF Media Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>NEW DELHI:<\/strong> Director-General of the Sports Authority of India (SAI), Mr Sandip Pradhan lauded the joint initiative of the All India Football Federation and SAI to use the period of the country-wide lockdown to hold a 13-day Online Coaching Refresher Course.<\/p>\n<p>The course, which got underway on Monday, April 20, will see as many as 20 different sessions being held, with the course coming to an end on Saturday, May 2, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has always been SAI&#8217;s effort to upgrade the knowledge base of coaches because every sport is evolving, and unless coaches are abreast with these changes they cannot impart the best training to athletes,\u201d Mr Pradhan said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26247,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>SAI DG lauds AIFF for conducting collaborated online Coaching Refresher Course during COVID-19 pandemic - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=37687\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SAI DG lauds AIFF for conducting collaborated online Coaching Refresher Course during COVID-19 pandemic - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"AIFF Media Team NEW DELHI: Director-General of the Sports Authority of India (SAI), Mr Sandip Pradhan lauded the joint initiative of the All India Football Federation and SAI to use the period of the country-wide lockdown to hold a 13-day Online Coaching Refresher Course.
