What is Coaches’ Voice Academy?
An online coaching library. Watch full sessions from leading academies, take the session plans onto the grass with your team, and hear how some of the best coaches in the game think in the Masterclasses.
Do I need to be a qualified coach?
No. Whether you help out with an under-8s team on a Saturday morning or coach in an academy, there is something here you can use. Every session plan sets out the set-up, timings and coaching points, so you can run it without a badge.
What’s included in my membership?
Everything: 80+ coaching sessions, 1,900+ session plans and practices and almost 100 Masterclasses, plus presentations, webinars and clinics.
Where can I watch?
In any web browser, and on the Coaches’ Voice Academy app for iPhone, iPad and Android. Session plans download as PDFs, so you can take them to training.
Is new content added regularly?
Yes. We add new coaching sessions, session plans and Masterclasses regularly, and your membership includes everything as soon as it lands.
Is there a set pathway to follow?
No. You choose what you watch, and when, so you can go straight to what your team needs this week.
How much does it cost?
£11.99 a month, or £119.99 a year. The annual plan works out at £10 a month, which is 2 months free.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Every Masterclass is free to watch, and so is the introduction to every coaching session, with no subscription needed. If you join on the annual plan, you have 14 days to change your mind for a full refund.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, you can cancel at any time from your account settings. Your access then runs to the end of the billing period you have already paid for.
How can I pay?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Do you offer group and gift memberships?
Yes. Clubs, schools and other organisations get a discount for 5 coaches or more, with one invoice managed centrally. We also sell gift vouchers, which work well as a thank-you for volunteers and staff. Get a club quote
