12 complete CONCACAF C License Coaching Programme

The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has marked a significant milestone in its drive to elevate local football standards, honouring 12 coaches who completed the CONCACAF C License Coaching Programme.

This initiative is a key part of the federation’s ongoing commitment to advanced coach education.

The graduates, who now join the expanding ranks of CONCACAF-certified coaches, include: Leon Roberts, Jersild Wright, Dwain Babb, Jamal Johnson, Andre Gibbs, Andrew Nestor, Delon Williams, Nichola Argyle, Trevon Lythcott, Wheatland Fordyce, Trevor Burnett, and Jamal Pedro.

These individuals are now equipped to meet CONCACAF’s rigorous standards, fulfil club licensing requirements, and play a vital role in the technical development of both youth and senior players across Guyana.

Speaking at the presentation ceremony, GFF Technical Director Bryan Joseph praised the dedication of the cohort and underscored the broader vision behind the programme. “We are at a turning point in Guyanese football,” Joseph stated.

“The future of our game — and our dream of reaching the World Cup at any level — depends on qualified coaches across every region.

This C License programme is part of a bigger picture. It’s about giving every child, no matter where they live, the chance to work under competent, certified guidance.”

The comprehensive course was delivered in three rigorous blocks, combining theoretical knowledge, practical sessions, and a supervised development period.

It was led by experienced Coach Educators Bryan Joseph and Lyndon France, covering critical elements such as team function, tactical principles, leadership, and effective session planning.

Joseph noted the exceptional engagement and commitment of this cohort, describing it as “the best C License we’ve ever done,” and urged the graduates to become ambassadors for coach education within their communities.
