A recorded, self-paced programme for parents, players and coaches: build technique, athleticism and game intelligence with a clear weekly plan.
You watch your child train, play and dream about a place at a strong football academy. The goal is clear, but the path is not. There are hundreds of drills online, conflicting advice from well-meaning adults, and very little time before the next trial.
Many young players train hard without a plan. They repeat the same exercises, ignore weak-foot control, or leave speed and coordination work until the week before a tryout. Parents want to help but are not sure what to say after a bad match or how to choose a coach who will move things forward.
This programme turns that scattered effort into a three-month preparation cycle. It covers the mental side of performance, five core ball-control drills, age-appropriate speed and endurance work, faster decision-making, and the practical steps of finding a coach and preparing for a trial.
It is not a promise of selection. It is a structured way to help a young player arrive at a tryout better prepared, with a clearer head and a training routine that can be repeated.
By the end of the programme, you will have a practical toolkit for the months before a trial.
Turn a vague goal into weekly sessions with clear priorities.
Use close-control, first touch, dribbling, receiving and weak-foot exercises.
Choose suitable speed, coordination and endurance work for ages 7–11, 12–15 and 16+.
Practise scanning, simple passing and positioning in small-sided games.
Handle nerves, mistakes and the pressure of a trial.
Ask the right questions and spot programmes that support long-term progress.
Organise documents, logistics and a realistic warm-up.
Use simple field tests to see what is improving and what needs work.
The programme is delivered as recorded lessons you can watch at your own pace. Each module opens with a short explanation of the principle, then shows the drills, practice assignments or planning tasks that turn it into action. You can pause, rewind and return to any lesson when you need it.
A realistic rhythm is one lesson plus two or three practice sessions each week. Younger players should train with a parent or coach nearby; older players can work more independently. The course gives you the structure, but you decide how to fit it around school, club training and recovery.
Every module includes a worksheet or drill card. The three-month planner helps you spread the work across the preparation period, while the eight self-assessment tests give you a simple way to review progress. There are no live sessions and no personal coaching calls, so the material fits around your schedule.
Six modules take you from an initial assessment to a trial-ready routine. Each lesson is short enough to watch before a practice session and specific enough to use the same day.
Short video lessons across six modules, available on any device.
A week-by-week template for lessons, drills and recovery.
Clear setup, coaching points and progressions for each drill.
Separate recommendations for ages 7–11, 12–15 and 16+.
Simple field tests to track speed, control and decision-making.
Documents, logistics, warm-up and questions to ask.
Ways to support without adding pressure after training or matches.
Return to the lessons whenever a new season or trial comes around.
You will have a three-month plan that fits around school and club training, not a random collection of drills. You will know which ball-control exercises to repeat, how to adjust speed and endurance work for the player's age, and how to keep sessions short enough to be sustainable.
The mental side becomes more practical too. You will have language for handling nerves, mistakes and the pressure of a trial. Parents can support without turning every car journey home into a performance review, and players can take more ownership of their own preparation.
When a trial comes, you will have a checklist for the practical details and a set of eight self-assessment tests to show progress. The outcome still depends on the player, the academy and the day itself, but the preparation is no longer guesswork.
Plan for around two to four hours per week: one short recorded lesson and two or three practice sessions. Younger players may need a parent to help set up and keep sessions playful.
A football, a bit of open space and a way to watch the lessons are enough. Some drills use cones or markers, but household objects can stand in. Older players may need access to a field or gym for the endurance and speed sessions.
The programme is written for players from around eight years old, with separate guidance for ages 7–11, 12–15 and 16+. Parents and coaches can adapt the load to the individual player.
After payment you receive access to the course library by email. Lessons are available on any device with an internet connection, and you can start with the first module straight away.
The lessons are recorded videos with supporting worksheets, drill cards and planning templates. There are no live sessions, so you can watch at a time that suits you and pause to practise.
Access stays available after purchase, so you can return to the lessons for a new season or a later trial. The downloadable materials are yours to keep and use in your own training.
Yes. You can request a refund within 14 days of purchase if the programme is not right for you. Contact support and we will process the refund according to the store policy.
No. The course prepares the player and the family for the process; it cannot control selection decisions. It is designed to improve preparation, organisation and confidence, not to promise a place.
No. The programme offers general football training guidance. If a player has pain, an injury or a medical condition, seek advice from a qualified medical professional before training.
Yes. Coaches can use the drill cards and age-specific guidance as a planning reference for youth sessions. The course is self-study, so it does not include live observation or feedback on your group.
