Premier Skills has already successfully run in 22 different centres in 15 countries worldwide. In India, initial Phase 1 training courses have take place in Delhi, Goa, Kerala and Kolkata. In Phase 1 around 40 young male and female coaches were trained at each of the four centres.
Following the Phase 1 programme the 160 coaches worked in their respective communities and then were asked to complete a case study write-up on the work that they were doing. A panel comprising the Premier Skills teams at the Premier League and from British Council evaluated the case studies and shortlisted 27 coaches from across India.
