The Coaching Manual is an excellent app…
The Coaching Manual is an excellent app for new coaches like me. The session plans and drills are clearly presented, helping me understand not only how to execute each drill but also why it’s run in a specific way. This clarity translates directly into real game situations, allowing me to apply these drills effectively with my team. The app’s comprehensive approach has significantly enhanced my coaching skills and overall understanding of the game, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to improve their coaching methods.
How I Use The Coaching Manual …
The CM is a fantastic platform for new and experienced coaches. It makes my job a lot easier. I'm a family man, so sometimes I don't have much time to put into training sessions as I coach two different age groups. Utilising the Coaching Manual means I can look at my seasonal plan, print out my session, and be ready to go within minutes. The content and video quality are top-class, making learning new material much easier. The site navigation is pretty straightforward, further streamlining the quickly getting to what you need. Sometimes, I'll use it to study different concepts and ideas to further my coaching skills and knowledge. It's always great to see how top coaches in the game deliver their sessions.

Excellent platform with great content from coaches & educators with great understanding of the game. Incredible resource for coaches of all levels
Excellent tool for coaches
I’ve been using TCM for a year now, and it’s revitalised my coaching. It makes training sessions so much easier to plan for, saving me loads of time and energy. It’s also introduced me to loads of training ideas and tips that I’d previously not even thought of. On top of that, the team at TCM are super-helpful whenever I’ve needed them.
Fantastic resource
Fantastic resource for football coaching. Full of useful and usable information for both on the pitch and off it.
Unbelievable service
Unbelievable service, provides so many plans which then saves admin time. Session plans in depth and easy to follow and comes with videos and fantastic diagrams
The football oracle for all age groups
As a club (Bedford Park Rangers) we use and openly encourage all coaches to access this marvelous facility.
There is so much good material for all age groups and I would strongly suggest anyone who has not used the site at all, to give it a go.
Coaching Manual (CM) Review
I like the Coaching Manual (CM) due to the different ideas and tactics presented. I also like the real-play videos and moving diagrams that show what is happening. This helps to make the ideas clear.
In conjunction to the CM I also use a book called "Full Season Academy Training Program" from SoccerTutor.com because it lists a full practice from warm-up, technical, stamina/strength, to drills to small-sided games. These are compact and easy to print out and take to the field. Forming a full practice with the CM is a little more difficult and requires more time. Printing CM drills and games is not always very clean and compact. Maybe if I upgraded my account the CM performance in this regard might be better.
Thanks for all the effort CM puts in, it's a very good product.
Best, KCole
an indispensible tool for me as a coach
to be honest, I get so many of my ideas from THE COACHING MANUAL. The site is easy to navigate, and I do often find myself modifying what I see there, to suit the needs of my team. The site is HUGELY valuable to me !

A all in one coaching guide and aid for people with no to full experience. We have this as our go to for our team, Leicester United, and I would be lost without it. It makes all jobs 100 times easier and efficient. They will create session plans for you and you can build your own once you have more confident. If you do nothing else today have a look over the site and contact the firm as you will not be disappointed
Fantastic platform
Fantastic platform, with loads of content
Really pleased I signed up
Best of the lot!
Over the years I have tried every platform out there including The FA stuff. However, The Coaching Manual comes out tops in every category.
As a Chairman and Coach of a grassroots club in England it is vital for me to ensure that our volunteers get the best resources whilst, selfishly, making sure I also have access to things I need for my own team.
The Coaching Manual covers every base! Thanks to all involved.
