The Coaching Manual are perfect…
The Coaching Manual are perfect partners for community clubs where most coaches are volunteer parents. The FA courses provide basic safety
and organisational information - and the coaching manual add to this by providing easy access to world class coaching information and education - for players, coaches and teams. Subscribing to this had enabled all our volunteers to massively unskilled themselves in short space of time - and they've probably only used 5% of the material available so far. Highly recommended !

TCM & AUFC
We started using TCM at the back end of last year. AUFC have teams from U5s right up to senior level and all coaches and players have access to this amazing facility.
As a coach of both the U6s and the Senior reserve team, TCM has become my go to place when planning training sessions. Even when you think you know your stuff, TCM can open your eyes to things that you may not have even crossed your mind. As they say “every day is a learning day”.
I couldn’t recommend TCM enough. It has definitely helped myself and the other coaches at AUFC. We have also received great feedback from the players themselves.

Fantastic club support, limitless content
The Coaching Manual have supported MSB Woolton FC for several seasons now and have been fantastic every step of the way. There has been support at every turn with any query we’ve had with great account manager, and they have gotten involved in supporting our Coach Development efforts as we support roughly 250 coaches.
Having the coaching manual as a tool for our new coaches who are volunteers primarily supporting the youngest aged teams with little coaching experience is invaluable to those that engage, whilst there’s content and support at the other end of the club with experienced coaches supporting older junior/adult sides who are looking for inspiration, new ways of doing things, or simply struggling to balance planning sessions around work.
It’s great we have such a good relationship with Ellie and Chris who can’t do enough, if anything we are looking into ways we can keep up with the support they’re offering! Can’t recommend enough.

As a parent
As a parent, I have been incredibly impressed with the impact that the coaching manual app has had on my 10-year-old's football skills development. This app has truly proven to be a game-changer in nurturing his talent and passion for the sport.
The app's user-friendly interface and engaging content have made it easy for my child to access and follow the training sessions independently. From dribbling techniques to shooting drills, it covers a comprehensive range of skill-building exercises tailored to suit young players.
What sets this app apart is its well-structured and progressive approach to coaching. The carefully planned training modules have not only enhanced my child's fundamental skills but also provided him with a clear path for continual improvement. , The app's incorporation of fun challenges has kept my child motivated and eager to explore new aspects of the game.

Fantastic choice to sign up
I’ve been really impressed with the coaching manual, particularly the app and the ease of it since beginning to use it. I coach an open age men’s team and find the variety of training plans and drills is great as it allows me to have competitive and engaging sessions without having to do too much planning and balancing a full time job.
I have recommended TCM to a lot of coaches and will continue to do so.

Just started to use it
Just started to use it. In the beginning i had the free version but decided to subscripe for the premium plan. I´m just starting and my team is in off season so i can´t give my experiences how it effects my team that´s why i give 4 stars for now. The rest seems really great, everything looks professional and there are many things to watch and use for your team. The only minus is they say reguraly ask us anything but i did i ask a question one time and still waiting for a reaction.

Good for all levels
found it hard at first to get around but have found the whole experience excellent. from working on shape to setting out session. There is something for everyone and from any level. sessions from professional coaches explaining what the out comes are and why we do it, not just diagram. As a coach I watch listen then adapt to help my players develope as not all of us will work with Academy players. Great site weldone

I love the content creator!!!
I have been using the content creator almost from Day one. Clean and easy to use to record sessions as well as show players.
My only WISH is that you would add a triangle to the shaded areas (currently only circle/oval & square/rectangle) so I could illustrate cover shadows when diagramming pressing. PLEASE PLEASE ADD!!!

Exemplary Customer Service
As a coaching resource, The Coaching Manual is second to none.
However, what sets them apart is the customer service. Both Emmet and Ellie were fantastic in the initial communications - both professional, prompt and friendly.
As a club we are excited to introduce The Coaching Manual to approx 80 coaches to develop our players.

Simply Football
The coaching manual is both an educational and reference tool. There so many times I have had to reference my coaching points with the coaching manual. And the results of my training sessions are fantastic. Use the coaching manual if you are looking for fun and engaging training sessions and watch the results pay off during match day. Thank you!
