"[Premium is] really well presented and I’d recommend it as a “must read” to anyone who...is looking to develop and expand their coaching knowledge." Matt, UK

When you've had a look at the sample session plan at the bottom of this page and checked out the Premium technical syllabus, drills and practice plans I think you'll agree that Premium is rather special.

But never mind what I think...what do people who've used Premium have to say about it?

"I've studied Premium for the last week or so and it is excellent.  The "ethos" behind the technical syllabus is easy to understand and allows less qualified coaches (I'm level 1) to communicate to their kids at a level that they will understand.  The drills are well laid out and the graphics easy to follow (my U11s were able to understand quicker this weekend because I could show them the drill on paper as well as talking them through it). I used the defending drills this weekend with both age groups I coach.  There was an immediate impact on my U8s as in their match the next day they moved away from swarming and made sure that there was a covering defender at all times without needing any coaching from the touchline.   The best recommendation came from two coaches who were observing my session this weekend.  They both said that they would be using the drills with their own teams next weekend.  I told them that there were plenty more on your website."

The session plan below - 'Defending - The Role of the First Defender' - is one of the 56 Premium practice plans.

All Premium session plans provide:

• a summary that gives you the background to the session,

• a downloadable pdf. file that provides a detailed plan you can take to your coaching session

• comprehensive coaching notes that tell you what to look for and what to say.

The notes also have links to all the Premium drills and games that you can use to reinforce the skill or technique that you're teaching.

Each drill can be downloaded as a full page diagram that you can show to your players - they'll pick up new drills much more quickly if they can see a nice big diagram before they do it for the first time.

You also get a handy guide to warm ups/cool downs that you can use in practice sessions or matches.
