Full football sessions filmed being coached, from MiniRoos to elite, plus season plans and club-wide accounts for community clubs, volunteer coaches and technical directors.
In short: The Coaching Manual gives every coach at your club proven sessions they can watch being coached, then run with their own team. Volunteer coaches get support between Football Australia's community courses and the C Licence, and clubs get one standard across every age group. Clubs from US$1,250 a year; individual coaches can start free.
Football Australia's community coaching courses and the C Licence give coaches a foundation. Most of a coach's development happens afterwards, week to week with their own team, often with nobody to watch or ask. That's the gap we're built for: expert coaches to watch, copy and learn from every week, between one course and the next.
Every session is filmed being coached, so you see the set-up and hear when and how the coach steps in. It's the quickest way to pick up the part a written plan can't show you: the delivery.
"It is the same football terminology, and it was easy to translate and adapt for all of our coaches to use the same 'football' language. All new coaches coming on board can now access all the right content, which is exactly the philosophy that we utilise in FA/AFC licence courses."
