About

Helping You Build a Career in Football Coaching

We exist for one reason: to help passionate football people turn their love of the game into recognised coaching credentials. Whether you’re a parent volunteer taking your first steps or an experienced coach ready for the professional game, we’re here to guide you through the UEFA coaching pathway.

Football coaching shouldn’t be complicated or intimidating. We make it straightforward—clear information, honest advice, and genuine support at every stage of your journey.

 

What We Do

We provide UEFA-accredited coaching qualifications across the complete pathway:

UEFA C Licence

Foundation coaching for grassroots football

UEFA B Licence

Gateway to professional and academy coaching

UEFA A Licence

Elite player development qualification

UEFA Pro Licence

UEFA Pro Licence

The pinnacle for aspiring managers

Our courses combine flexible online learning with practical pitch sessions, delivered by experienced coach developers who understand both the theory and reality of modern football coaching.

Beyond qualifications, we provide guidance on funding options, career pathways, and the practical steps to building a coaching career. We answer the questions that official websites often leave unclear.

Why We Started

The UEFA coaching pathway is one of the best-structured development programmes in sport. But navigating it isn’t always easy.

When should you move from C to B Licence? What funding are you actually eligible for? Which qualification do you need for academy coaching? What does the course really involve day-to-day?

We started because these questions deserved clear answers. Too many talented coaches stall their development because the pathway feels confusing or the costs seem prohibitive. Our job is to remove those barriers—providing the information and support that helps coaches take their next step with confidence.

Our Approach

Honest Information

We tell you what qualifications actually involve, what they cost, and what career doors they open. No exaggeration, no pressure—just the facts you need to make informed decisions about your coaching development.

Practical Guidance

Coaching qualifications are just the start. We help you understand how to use them—what roles become available, how to build experience, and how to progress through the pathway at a pace that works for your life.

Genuine Support

Questions don’t follow a schedule. Whether you’re unsure which course to start with or need advice on funding eligibility, our team is here to help. Real people, real answers, real support.

Who We Help

Complete beginners — Parents, volunteers, and football enthusiasts taking their first steps into coaching. We help you understand where to start and what’s involved.

Grassroots coaches — Volunteers and part-time coaches ready to gain formal qualifications. We guide you through the UEFA C Licence and help you access funding that makes it affordable.

Aspiring professionals — Coaches targeting academy or semi-professional roles. We help you achieve your UEFA B Licence and understand the career opportunities it unlocks.

Elite coaches — Experienced professionals ready for UEFA A Licence or UEFA Pro Licence. We provide information on eligibility, application processes, and what these elite programmes involve.

Our Approach

Accessibility

Cost and confusion shouldn’t block anyone from coaching development. We help coaches find funding, understand requirements, and navigate the pathway regardless of background.

Quality

UEFA qualifications represent genuine competence. We support coaches in meeting these standards properly, not cutting corners. Your qualification should mean something.

Honesty

We won’t oversell what qualifications deliver or understate what they require. Clear expectations lead to better outcomes for everyone.

 

Football first

We’re here because we love the game and believe in developing the people who coach it. Everything else follows from that.
