Foundation Scouting Strategies

Delivered by former Liverpool FC and Everton FC scout Dan Fieldsend, Foundation Scouting Strategies is an introductory course aimed at anyone looking to understand the fundamentals of scouting at a foundation level. Across six lessons, it explores why clubs conduct foundation scouting, the role of the scout, the types of players they seek, and how the overall scouting process operates.

The course is hosted entirely online through Soccer Hub and can be completed in under a day, making it accessible for those new to the subject. It comprises six short video lessons totalling a modest time commitment, and assessments are included. The course is free of charge and offers unlimited access, though no formal qualification or certification is stated as part of this particular programme.
