The following are the MANDATORY MINIMUM requirements defined by the Football Association of Wales Trust for all coaches acting in a supervisory capacity. Newport District Junior Youth League police these qualifications and will take disciplinary action ie fines/suspensions if any coaches are found to be operating without these qualifications:
CRIMINAL RECORDS BUREAU CHECK

FAWT FOOTBALL LEADERS AWARD
This is a 2 day non-examinable course usually held on consecutive Sundays. The Leaders Award must be retaken EVERY 3 YEARS (unless a higher coaching award was passed in that period in which case the higher award would need to be retaken every 3 years). Newport District League mandate that EVERY person acting in a coaching capacity for EVERY match and training session must hold a current FAWT Leaders Award (or higher award) and completed CRB check.
FAWT FIRST AID FOR FOOTBALL AWARENESS
