For volunteers and new coaches, including people without previous football playing or coaching experience.

Before you enroll

The listing shows 1 hour 37 minutes, updated in August 2025, and explicitly requires no prior coaching knowledge. Rules and youth procedures vary by competition and age group. Check the relevant governing body’s current guidance and required qualifications; platform completion is not safeguarding clearance or a coaching license.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Create a first-session checklist for a fictional team covering the objective, equipment, communication and organization. Identify which safeguarding and emergency arrangements must be confirmed with the club before the session occurs.
