Football Periodisation – Introduction Course 1

Designed for coaches at all levels, this introductory course from Football Coach Evolution explores the core principles of football periodisation. It covers how to develop non-verbal communication between players through position-specific exercises, the relationship between game insight and individual decision-making, the role of isolated training as an exception rather than the rule, and the fundamentals of football fitness. The curriculum also addresses how to plan a training week ensuring all four football components — communication, decision-making, executing decisions, and fitness (CDEF) — are overloaded at least once, illustrated through a Feyenoord Academy case study.

Delivered entirely online by Raymond Verheijen, founder of Football Coach Evolution, the course comprises nine lectures and a 15-question, 60-minute quiz. It is self-assessed and listed with a duration of two weeks, though it falls within the introductory level. Participants who complete the course earn a certificate. The course is priced at €20.
