Coaching for All Levels
Brookvale FC is committed to delivering quality coaching for every player. Our philosophy centres on fostering player growth through knowledgeable leadership, a robust support system, and a positive environment for all. Under the guidance of Patty Faria, our Coaching Director, Brookvale FC ensures that players are surrounded by dedicated coaches who strive to bring out the best in every individual.
Our club takes pride in its structured coaching framework, designed to support player development. Across all levels, we aim to provide coaches with the training and resources needed to create an engaging and challenging environment for players:
Foundations: Coaches working with our Under 9 through Under 12 teams are invited to work toward a Foundations of Football certification designed to provide the knowledge to nurture young talent.
Developing Coaches: Under-13 and higher-age coaches are encouraged to pursue a C-Licence accreditation, which teaches the game’s intricacies while considering individual player needs.
Top Tier: Our goal is for every Division 1 team to benefit from the expertise of a C-Licence accredited coach at a minimum.
At Brookvale, coaching is a continuous journey of growth and improvement. Every coach, from beginners to seasoned leaders, has access to ongoing training support, mentorship, and resources.
Our Director of Coaching (DoC)
Patty’s mission is to support all our coaches, from social to top-tier teams, working tirelessly to unify our coaching culture and promote a positive experience for players and coaches alike. From guiding new coaches through their first sessions to implementing advanced coaching strategies, Patty is instrumental in creating an inclusive, player-focused environment where everyone can thrive.
Patty’s journey in football began at the age of eight. Her skills earned her a place in representative squads before she became a Women’s Premier League (WPL) player for Brookvale. Her coaching story began when she was 18, and she reignited her passion recently when coaching her son and daughter’s teams at Brookvale.
Patty completed her C-Diploma with MWFA in 2022 and has served as Brookvale FC’s Coaching Director since that achievement, as well as joining the MWFA Coach Development Team in 2023.
Patty is passionate about developing youth players, shaping future world-class talent, and helping coaches provide positive experiences that keep players engaged and inspired.
