This week's sessions

One session for every age group, every week. It's the same plan our club customers send to their coaches before each week starts. Pick a week to see what was coached.

Week commencing 9 Nov

Every session comes with video, set-up and coaching points.

Sessions for U5 to U12 follow Play · Practice · Play; from U12 they are part-progressive. Any coach can pick them up and run them.

Sessions marked Free to watch are open to everyone. The rest need a coach or club account: start free as a coach or get a club account.

How the curriculum works

A periodised curriculum from U5 to U16. Land on any week of the season and deliver a session that works.

01

Simple to use

For U5 to U12, every week follows Play · Practice · Play: an arrival game, one focused practice and a finishing game. From U12, sessions are part-progressive: one theme built up in three or four parts.

02

Repetition is the point

Blocks of sessions repeat through the season, so players consolidate skills and coaches build a toolbox of sessions they know.

03

Built for real life

Missed weeks, shared squads, parent volunteers. Every week stands on its own, so any coach can drop in.

U5/U610 sessionsTechnical foundations and physical literacy.
U7/U8+12 sessionsAdvanced technique, intro to game understanding.
U9/U10+16 sessionsEqual thirds: technical, physical, game understanding.
U11/U12+16 sessionsAll corners, intro tactical, part-progressive style.
U13–U16GraduationReady for 11v11 football.

What are season plans?

Season plans are the simplest way to build a season-long curriculum for your team. Teams of every ability and age group perform better with a structured programme that progresses through the season.

Not every coach has the time or experience to build one, so our qualified coaches do it for you.

Perfect for coaches at any level

There's never enough time. Season plans take the hassle out of preparing sessions and give your players a cohesive, tailored programme that makes them better.

Share the plan with your players so they can see the session before the session. They might even help you set it up.

Players and coaches during a season plan session

A new session every week

Every Sunday, the coming week's sessions go live: one for every age group, from U5–U6 to U15+. Up to U12, each one follows Play · Practice · Play, so players start and finish with a game. From U12, sessions are part-progressive, building one theme step by step to a game.

Open a session for the video, set-up and coaching points, then save it to a folder or share it with your team.

Questions

What is a football season plan?

A season plan is a week-by-week programme of training sessions that builds through the season, so each session follows on from the last. The Coaching Manual creates one for your team from your age group and training days.

Which age groups do the season plans cover?

Six age groups: U5–U6, U7–U8, U9–U10, U11–U12, U13–U14 and U15+. Each gets its own session every week, pitched at that age.

Who writes the sessions?

Our in-house qualified coaches, plus masterclasses from professional coaches including David Moyes, Chris Hughton, Mark Warburton and Rene Meulensteen. Every session comes with video.

Can I see the sessions before I sign up?

Yes. Sessions marked 'Free to watch' are open to everyone. The rest are available with a coach or club account.

How do clubs use the weekly sessions?

Every week we send club contacts that week's sessions for every age group, ready to forward to their coaches. A club account also gives every coach their own season plan in the app.
