About This Course
Aimed at aspiring and recreational youth football coaches, this introductory Udemy course covers the core practical decisions coaches face, including selecting formations, assigning player positions, building offensive and defensive tactics, and managing the psychology of young players from age four upwards. It suits parents coaching their children's teams, individuals who want to understand the tactical side of the game, and those unable to attend formal coaching workshops.
Delivered entirely online, the course runs to one hour and nineteen minutes of video content across 20 lectures organised into five sections covering introductions, formations, positions, tactics, and attitude — making it completable in under a day. No formal qualification or accreditation is listed. The course is hosted and delivered through Udemy's self-paced e-learning platform.
