Scott O’Donnell, Technical Director, AIFF Academies, also Director Coach Education at AIFF will conduct the theory as well as practical sessions.

The workshop will have participation from the Clubs’ Grassroots Programme Development Managers. Each Hero ISL club have appointed Development Managers and Development Officers who in turn will be responsible for running their respective club’s grassroots program and in-school training activities in their city or region.

Piet Hubers, Member UEFA Grassroots Working Group and UEFA Grassroots Panel will also be present at the three-day Workshop as special invitee.

Hubers has been a member of the UEFA Grassroots Panel since year 2000 and has vast experience in Football Development at Grassroots level. He will oversee the Workshop and provide his guidance to the ISL Club representatives.
