⚽ Grassroots Coaches... Need some fresh ideas for training?

One of the biggest challenges for volunteer coaches is coming up with fun, engaging sessions every week.

That's exactly why we created our Play the Game booklets for coaches...

📘 Street Games includes over 20 exciting small-sided games that put players at the heart of every session.

🚀 Space Invaders adds another 60 innovative games to help players attack, defend, score goals, solve problems and make decisions in realistic game situations.

No complicated planning.

No endless queues.

No standing around waiting for a turn.

Just 80+ games designed to maximise touches of the ball, increase engagement and help young players fall in love with the game.

Whether you're coaching your own child's team or have years of experience on the touchline, these resources are packed with ideas for players of all ages you can take straight onto the pitch.

💜 If you're looking to make your sessions more enjoyable, more game-like and more memorable, these books are a great place to start. Check them out on the links below.
