THE FA Basic Treatment of Injury course will begin on Friday, January 17, at Kidderminster Harriers, running for seven weeks.

The evening sessions will be from 6.30pm until 9.30pm and the cost of the course will include a study book.

Course tutors are Harriers' and England physio Jim Conway and community officer Nick Griffiths.

The course is the first stage in becoming an FA sports therapist and will help clubs to save on physiotherapy for their players.

It is designed to improve medical care for players, at all levels, teaching how to deal with and manage common sports injuries.

A certificate is awarded on completion of the course which is aimed at trainers, managers, coaches and sponge-men.

Applicants must be 17 or older and places can be booked by ringing Griffiths on 01562 863821 as soon as possible.
