Good session plans.
Easy to find football practices for all ages. I couldn’t do without now. Good content and videos to watch. I like the key points as well. Explaining every techniques. I don’t use it for everything, only coaching plans. Like it a lot.
Absolutely love this platform
Absolutely love this platform! I've been using it to coach teams in our youth program for several years now from U10 through U19. It has greatly enhanced my coaching ability which in-turn has had an amazing effect on my players. I've seen much greater engagement/enjoyment from my players since I started using it and the rate of development has been fantastic. There are so many sites that offer great drills but the content here including the insight into the psyche of players at different ages, best practices as a coach to message correctly, and the level of expertise they bring in to create the content is outstanding. I find the season plans to be a great tool as well, taking a lot of the guess work out and creating a practice session that builds from one activity to the next. And, it's easy to pick from different sessions if it becomes apparent that we need to work on a different topic that week than what's "next up". I recommend it to all of the other coaches I work with! Thank you for the great work you put into this!
Brilliant App
Brilliant. Makes planning my sessions really, really easy.
The Coaching Manual has it covered…
The coaching manual has it covered all ways, from total support for the coaches who don't have time to prepare and can use a pre-set programme through the timetable calendar, or to support the coaches who are looking to use their own sessions but like to see other sessions, for some ideas.
The Folder system works well for us we can upload the sessions and add our videos, and by releasing to the players they can be prepared for the session ahead. Adding our own sessions to the Folders has built a fantastic resource that can be accessed in seconds.
I would also like to mention the support we receive it has always been premier league level and a cannot speak too highly of Ellie and the team.
Interviews and videos from the pros add to the experience and for the passionate coach who lives and breaths football I can't get enough.
The Coaching Course was excellent and knowing that the pros were looking over our sessions certainly added pressure, but to maintain standards and grow, learning and challenge never ends.
I am working towards my Pro coaching…
I am working towards my Pro coaching license and have used and tried many digital training /planning /team management app and for me TCM is the best one on the market with its simplicity, easy to navigate menu and its excellent training content suited for all age groups. Love it.
Highly recommended by Greenisland FC
The Coaching Manual has been a fantastic addition to our club. The volume and quality of resources is second to none.
The user friendly interface that has helped around 100 coaches at our club to plan and deliver sessions within a bespoke season plan.
More so, the friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism of TCM staff members is a major contributor to the success of TCM.

The Coaching Manual is a vital coaching platform, its an added value to any coach at any level
Fantastic
I’ve been using The Coaching Manual as a coach for the last 4 seasons. I struggle to find the time sometimes to actively produce training sessions that the players will appreciate. Using The Coaching Manual’s season planner has been a game changer for me. Every session is already planned for me with short video footage of how to run the sessions. Depending on what access rights you have you can even get your team to view the sessions in advance. Fantastic tool. Thanks to Chris and the team my players think I’m a good coach.

I used the coaching manual to plan and prepare my sessions in the lead up to the Super Cup NI. It was user friendly and easy to use. I was also able to use the platform to show my other coaching staff what we were planning to do during sessions.
It provided everyone with a clear picture.
I also used it to help show the players their roles and responsibilities during games.

The Coaching Manual provides everything you need as a coach , club and Association
The Coaching Manual provides everything for both the new grassroots coach starting out and the most experienced coach and covers all levels of football from the very young player to the top Pro. Brilliant videos of sessions from top coaches, session plans, animations and tools to draw up your own sessions and store them. All backed up with a great staff who are only too willing and pleased to be of assistance for any question.

Great tool for any coach
I really find the preseason plans very useful. The breakdown of principles of play on both sides of the ball and training sessions to help get those principles across to the players is a great tool for any coach. I like to print out the infographics to use as reminders during training and keep them in a notebook that players can look at during games.

Amazing service from Ellie & Emmet who we’ve dealt with from the beginning!!
Always available and 100% committed to any queries we’ve had.
Above all the the sessions provided on the manual have exceeded all expectations!
Totally different outlook to grassroots which will improve our club to a whole new level!!

There is a ton of great content
There is a ton of great content. The annual plan for teams makes it fool proof and allows the coach to run the same session a few times each week. When we run sessions a few times we get better in coaching and the players get better through familiarity and repetition. I would like to see the creation of our own content to be simplified and printing of sessions to be on one page.
