🎉 The Course Is Live: Designing Small-Sided Games That Teach for You
Over the last 15 years working in grassroots football — in the UK and abroad — we’ve tested, refined, and lived this approach with U7–U11 players. Now we’ve finally put it into a complete course. Designing Small-Sided Games That Teach for You is built for parent-coaches and grassroots coaches who want calmer sessions, smarter players, and learning that actually transfers to matchday. Inside the course you’ll learn how to: • design small-sided games around behaviours, not drills • spot the real problems in games• use space, numbers, rules, and scoring to guide learning • coach in the flow of play • adjust games without stopping them • reinforce learning on matchday and long-term This isn’t a drill library, it's a repeatable way of thinking you can use every week. Because you’re part of this community, you’re seeing it first. If you want to take what we talk about here and apply it properly to your own sessions, this course is the next step.

Lionesses Role Model's - FREE RESOURCE
I’ve just created a FREE coaching resource inspired by the England Lionesses, designed specifically for girls’ teams and grassroots coaches. The Lionesses Role Models pack includes player-focused challenges and role-model profiles based on real England stars, helping young players: - Set clear matchday and training targets - Learn what different positions actually look like in games - Build confidence by copying the habits of players they admire - Feel inspired by female role models in football I built this resource because there still aren’t enough women’s football–specific tools for coaches working with girls — and this is something I use with my own team. 👉 Free to download 👉 Print-friendly 👉 Perfect for U8–U14 girls Hope this helps your sessions — let me know how you’d use it with your team ⚽🦁

📘 Free Ebook for Grassroots & Parent Coaches (2025)
At the start of 2025, we created an ebook focused on empowering grassroots and parent coaches—but never properly shared it. So we’re fixing that. We’re making the ebook completely free and available to anyone coaching in the grassroots game. It’s written for coaches who: - care deeply about their players - want to create better learning environments - sometimes feel unsure, overwhelmed, or under-supported - want clarity, not complicated theory Inside, we share practical insights around: - confidence as a coach - creating positive learning environments - understanding what really matters at grassroots level - supporting young players without over-coaching If you’re a parent coach—or working anywhere in grassroots football—this is for you. Once you’ve read it, we’d genuinely love to hear from you: What resonated most? What challenges are you currently facing as a coach? Drop your thoughts in the comments below 👇 Let’s keep learning from each other.

🔜 Coming soon: "Designing Small-Sided Games That Teach for You"
We’re currently finalising a new online course built specifically for parent-coaches and grassroots coaches working with U7–U11. If you’ve ever felt like: - sessions look good but don’t show up on matchday - you’re talking more than you want to - players rely on instructions instead of thinking This course is designed for you. "Designing Small-Sided Games That Teach for You" focuses on how to design age-appropriate small-sided games that develop decision-making, confidence, and understanding—without drills, shouting, or stopping play every two minutes. It’s not a library of sessions. It's a repeatable way of thinking you can use every week. We’ll be sharing previews, resources, and release updates inside this Skool community first, alongside the free tools and discussions already happening here. More details soon 👀 For now—keep sharing, asking questions, and learning together. ⚽
