Youth Diploma

This Course has been developed by Coerver® Coaching co-founders Charlie Cooke and Alfred Galustian from over 30 years of knowledge and work around the world at all levels of the game, from grass roots to leading federations, clubs, managers and stars of International Football.

It is designed for all levels of coaches, from beginner to advanced, teachers or parents, to give them a greater understanding of how to plan & deliver more effective coaching sessions based on the Coerver® Coaching Philosophy.

Course Content

The Hybrid (part virtual & part in-person) course featuring "The World's #1 Soccer Skills Teaching Method" will be delivered in (4) 3 hour Modules. The Modules consist of lecture presentations followed by on field sessions. The on field sessions highlight the 5 Part DVD Session Planner and how to construct your sessions with it.

Module 1 - The Coerver® Approach To Football Coaching

Module 2 - The Coerver® Curriculum

Module 3 - Coerver® Session Planner

Module 4 - Coerver® Tips To Be A Better Coach  

"We've never had an authorized Coerver® pathway for Coaches, and we've been around over 30 years, and we're in 28 countries" says co-founder Alfred Galustian whose appointment in June 2010 as the Premier League Specialist Skills advisor, assigned to help develop the next gereration of Elite football coaches in the UK, further endorses the reputation of the Method.

"The new course is designed for Coaches who work with young players from 8-16 years old. We designed the diploma asking the question how can we help coaches construct effective sesions without the anxiety, head scratching and time wasting that often accompanies session planning."

"In our new Coerver® 5 Part DVD set and E Book, Charlie Cooke and myself have devised the Coerver® Coaching Session Planner. This is a template and formula that any coach can use to easily create their week, month or season's Sessions and we have constructed the whole course around this new material."

Course Curriculum


This Spring we will take a new approach to delivering this course to you as coaches.  Our hybrid model will consist of 2 Zoom Classroom Sessions (Each about 2-3 hours in length consisting of 2 modules).  These classroom sessions will be conducted live as well as recorded and sent to you to view at an alternative time if needed.  Live participants will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding the topics being discussed in each module.  These Zoom Classroom sessions will take place the prior to an in-person on field day of sessions.

The 2 In-Person Field Session Day will each be about 2-3 hours on a consecutive Wednesday nights.  The location of this In-Person Field Session Day will be located at a site in the Capital District (finalizing date & times currently).  All participants are encouraged to take part as players during this sessions but it is not required.  Coerver New York will also have local youth players to participate in the field sessions as well.
