The following are a list of soccer coaching web-sites which we recommend:

www.insidesoccer.com : This is the ultimate web-site for all coaches. Full video clips of all the drills are shown, using professional club teams from all over the world. These include academies from Chelsea, Inter Milan, Valencia, River Plate, Tottenham Hotspur, Ajax, Sporting Lisbon, Boca Juniors and Flamengo. The drills are well set out, with all coaching key factors set out at the end. This is the Midleton FC recommended web-site. No subscription required.
 

www.soccercoachinginternational.com : The web-site does give some drills, but requires a subscription. However, members receive an excellent bi-monthly coaching magazine.
 

www.bettersoccercoaching.com : This is an excellent coaching web-site, with a lot of drills and advice. Subscription not required for most of the information. Members receive excellent coaching tips on a weekly basis.
 

www.footy4kids.com : This is suitable for academy coaches, and gives a lot of coaching drills and games.
 

www.theica.com : This web-site has a huge amount of soccer drills for members. Membership costs €65 for a year’s subscription, which is expensive. This is the major negative with this site. Otherwise, all of the drills available to download are excellent, and are the basis of a lot of the FAI drills.www.bettersoccermorefun.com : The Dutch way of coaching kids. Excellent for academy kids.
 

www.soccerspecific.com: A top class web-site for drills and coaching exercises. You need to register (free access will get you a lot of material). Highly recommended.
