Without Grassroots Football, there is no Football
Becoming a professional footballer is no easy feat - it takes talent, relentless dedication, hard work, and a bit of luck. But above all, it starts with opportunity.
For most, that first step happens on the grassroots pitches of local clubs and school teams. Without grassroots football, the game simply wouldn’t exist.
That’s why The Coaching Manual is proud to launch this groundbreaking initiative, bringing world-class education to coaches, players, and parents - because every journey deserves the best possible start.
- The Coaching Manual is the world leader in digital coach, player and parent education from grassroots through to the professional game.
- Clubs will get a dedicated platform that provides video sessions, player skills and parent education to every coach, player and parent at the club.
- Clubs will get access for multiple seasons. Through the 2026 World Cup and beyond.
