Full soccer sessions filmed being coached, from U5 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 Canada Soccer's Children's Diploma and C Diploma, and technical directors get one standard across every age group. Clubs from US$1,250 a year; individual coaches can start free.
Canada Soccer's Children's Diploma and C Diploma, and your provincial association's community coaching courses, 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.
"The Coaching Manual platform, with its video content, animations, how you are able to create the sessions, and aesthetically as well, it's very easy to follow. Now that we are able to plan things weeks in advance, coaches can look at the sessions that are coming up."
Gary Crooks, Calgary Rangers, Alberta

For registration and payments you'd use a club admin system alongside it. See our honest comparison of coaching apps.
