The Coaching Manual is so much more…
The Coaching Manual is so much more than just a collection of drills. Their season plans provide a fantastic structure for building a well-rounded team. From warm-up ideas to small-sided games, they've got it all. But what I truly appreciate are the resources for fostering teamwork and sportsmanship. These are invaluable for young players, especially girls, who might be new to competitive environments. The Coaching Manual has helped me create a positive and supportive environment where my girls can not only develop their skills but also learn valuable life lessons. I'd love to see more practice examples with female players.
Being a competitive and high school…
Being a competitive and high school coach I love how TCM helps with putting together season plans for different ages. Coaching several teams at different ages the Season Plan greatly reduces the time I have to spend for each team. I also love the sessions you can look up to implement in your training topic for that day.
Quality material for for all coaches at all levels
Love the way the sessions are organized. High level 11v11 material for coaches who have been at it for decades, but also really great sessions for beginning coaches with 6-7 year old players. The season long session plan for U6, U8, U10, etc is invaluable for me as a Youth Academy Director (U7-U10). Keep up the good work!

Fantastic Coaching Content!
Great coaching content and the ability to generate season plans takes the stress out of session planning. Having the ability to generate and share your own content with coaches and players within your club is a fantastic way to share ideas and session plans. The articles are informative and infographics are a really useful tool for coaching and player education.

As a football/soccer player of over 30 years, learning on the mean streets of London, TCM became invaluable in helping me transition to coaching.
Initially with girls 13-16 and now the same with boys.
TCM has useful guides for all ages and abilities, in particular when I see a particular need the team has, I'll go to TCM to see if there's a drill to help them understand a concept or overcome an issue.
TCM also allows me to craft my own ideas from these into my own tailored drills for the kids.

Best guides for beginner players
I’m a player that never had proper 11 a side experience so when I had the chance, I found TCM to be one of the best guides players from amateur to professional can use.
Explanations for every position and advice that you can only get if you pay for private coaching. But a monthly subscription that’s also affordable? How good can good get? 10/10 highly recommended.
After learning their defending principles of
Play series, I’m comfortable playing fullback in just 10 games. This is the result you are looking for, you just need time to study and practice.

The Coaching Manual provides resources…for every player, parent, coach, and organization
The Coaching Manual provides resources useful for the beginning coach as well as the seasoned professional. They have access to some of the best coaches on the market and therefor are able to provide current trends and developments in the -youth- soccer industry.
Their online platform allows for easy access to the various programs and relevant information is only a quick away. I'm impressed with their continuous expansion of their offerings wether it training sessions for the beginner or advanced player or their video library of world class coaches demonstrating and explaining various topics.
