TCM helps
Our club has been using TCM for about 8 months and it has helped us in several ways - coach education, support, & accountability, session/curriculum design and formatting, etc. We use it from age 3-18. For our youngest recreational players our director can now design sessions and coaches can access the day's session from their phones! That's a big step from the way we did it in the past. We share the resources with other clubs and schools to expand our reach, improve area coaching, and hopefully develop better players.

I've been using The Coaching Manual for many years now. The practice sessions and videos are professional and on point. The drills are easy to follow in terms of organisation and content and its great to see how the excellent coaches coach similar sessions but in different ways and manners, showing the different styles of coaching in relation to the age and ability of the group.
Terry and his staff are always helpful which makes for a welcomed professional service.

AFC Alsager - Review of The Coaching Manual…
Since using the coaching manual all our coaches across 21 foundation and youth teams are better equipped to deliver fun/competitive/age appropriate sessions. We are following the TECHNICAL FRAMEWORK and coaching the right things to the right age groups ....Better coaches equals better players ! Parents appreciate and understand the investment of time and effort in developing ALL our players.

Outstanding
I've been a paying member of The Coaching Manual for 4 years now. I think the practice and session videos are top notch. I especially appreciate the fact they have professionally shot videos showing a real coach leading kids in the activity as well as having animations and written text of the drills.

A ton of instructional support covering all aspects of the game, and all of this can be found in one place. If you rely on the free videos from youtube, and other sites you're missing out. The site even allows you to plan your sessions for the season, and organize the sessions into folders.

Highest quality soccer coaching content on the internet
I am a grassroots coach working with U11 and U12 boys. I have subscribed to many different soccer coaching websites, and TCM offers the highest quality content and resources. I particularly enjoy the videos of practice sessions. As a developing coach, I like to watch experienced coaches deliver a session. Just looking at a session plan diagram doesn't give you the same detail as a video. I've learned a lot about how and when to deliver coaching points most effectively watching the videos on TCM.
I also attended the TCM Certificate I course with Paul Bright and Martin Hunter. I found the course to be highly relevant to grassroots coaches and learned a lot about the principles of attack and defense.
