Beginner training plan
Your first lessonLesson 1 Introduction & Assessment * Objective: Build rapport, understand the learner’s goals, and assess current skill level. * Approach: * Begin with a conversation to understand what the learner wants to achieve and what excites them about soccer. * Light, fun drills to gauge keeper skills, ball control, passing, movement, and understanding of the game. * Observe technique, comfort with the ball, and decision-making to identify focus areas. * Conclude with a reflection and discussion on what will form the basis of future sessions.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ Building on Fundamentals * Objective: Transition from basic skill mastery to applying skills in more advanced scenarios. * Approach: * Introduce more complex tactical concepts and positional play. * Focus on decision-making under pressure and advanced ball control. * Continue linking each session’s focus to long-term development goals. * Maintain the cycle of coaching points, reflection, and self-discovery to embed learning.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 Solidifying the Basics * Objective: Reinforce foundational skills and introduce simple game scenarios. * Approach: * Continue emphasizing fundamentals, gradually increasing complexity and intensity. * Focus on consistency, technique, and understanding why skills matter in real-game situations. * Maintain session reflections and feedback discussions to encourage self-awareness and ownership of learning.
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2–3 Fundamentals & Foundations * Objective: Establish a strong foundation of basic skills and understanding. * Approach: * Each session begins with a discussion of the focus for the day and how it fits into the overall development plan. * Work on core fundamentals: passing, receiving, dribbling, positioning, and basic tactical awareness. * Coaching points: clear guidance on technique and decision-making. * End each session with self-discovery reflection, asking the learner to articulate what they learned and how they can apply it.

Youth players
Working with kidsI make every lesson fun and engaging by mixing skills practice with small games, challenges, and a little silliness. Kids build footwork, first touch, and confidence while playing, laughing, and competing in a lighthearted way. Every session is designed so they learn, improve, and fall in love with the game

Working with teenagersI make lessons fun and challenging while building trust and rapport with each teen. I try to talk their language (even when I have no clue!) and keep them laughing, while helping them improve skills, confidence, and game sense. Every session is personal, engaging, and designed to make soccer fun and meaningful.

What you need to bringCleats. Shin pads options. Gloves if doing keeper training. A water bottle

What I can bringI will bring the balls & cones

I’ve been training with my coach for a while now, and it’s been awesome. Every lesson is challenging but fun, and we work on skills like footwork, first touch, and changing pace. My coach explains things really clearly and gives helpful feedback, but also keeps it fun with games and a bit of friendly competition. I feel like I’m improving every session and learning a lot about the game. She’s even helped me return to the field stronger and better after my knee surgery. Highly recommend!

I’ve been taking lessons with my coach for 2 years, and they’re the best! We do fun drills that make me better at my foot skills, first touch, and changing pace. We also play games together, which are super fun and sometimes a little competitive! My coach explains things clearly, gives lots of encouragement, and makes every lesson laugh-out-loud fun. I feel like I get better every time and can’t wait for the next lesson!
