  • Coach Profile

    Upload and update your coach profile for exposure on our social media channels and email list with over 100,000 subscribers.

  • How much does the course cost?

    The course costs $495.00. We offer several payment options to make it more affordable, including monthly payment plans.

  • Why should I do the course?

    Education, licenses, and network are key to a successful coaching career—and with this course, you can gain all three from home!

    We understand that not every coach has the time or resources to attend the limited in-person UEFA courses.

    That’s why we’re excited to offer virtual education in cooperation with the TFV in Germany, an official member of the German Football Association (DFB). Upon completion of the course, you’ll receive an official diploma and license.

  • Is this an official and acknowledged course?

    Yes, you will receive an official diploma and license in cooperation with the State of Thuringia in Germany, a member of the German Football Association (DFB).

    However, it is not equivalent to the DFB/UEFA/TFV C or UEFA B license. Additional in-person modules and exams in Germany are required to obtain those licenses.

  • What is the TFV?

    The TFV (German: Thüringer Fußball-Verband) is part of the Northeastern German Football Association and one of the state organizations under the German Football Association (German: Deutscher Fußball-Bund – DFB).

  • Will I receive credits for the UEFA C & B course?

    For each of our DFB/UEFA/TFV coaching course spots, there are at least 50 applicants. We select and recommend coaches based on this course to the German Football Association (DFB).

    Graduating with this online license pre-qualifies you, but it does not guarantee a spot in the UEFA C or B license courses.

    Note: If selected for the UEFA/DFB/TFV C or B course, you will receive course credits toward your license fee and save approximately 26 hours of preparation time.

  • How many coaches can take the course?

    We allow a maximum of 50 coaches to take the course at the same time.

    Each module assignment will be reviewed and approved by our German-licensed instructors.

    If the registration button is visible, it means spots are available and you can get started right away.

  • How long does the course take to complete?

    Modules will be released weekly over 8 consecutive weeks, and you can complete the course at your own pace.

    You’ll gain access to the next module after submitting the weekly assignment.

    If you need to skip a week, that’s no problem—but you’ll only receive your diploma and license after completing all modules.

  • Do I need coaching experience?

    The course includes content and assignments suitable for both beginners and advanced coaches.

  • Why is the course so affordable?

    Education should be affordable! We’ve partnered with leading tools in match analysis and coaching to offer exclusive insights and teaching modules as part of the course.

    If a coach later chooses to use one of these tools professionally, we receive a commission.

    We charge only a minimal fee to cover the costs of assignment approval by German State FA instructors, platform operations, and issuing your diploma and license.

  • Are the courses open to coaches outside the USA?

    Yes, the courses are open to coaches from anywhere.

  • Do you have other projects with the German FA?

    Yes, in cooperation with the DFB Academy, we held three soccer camps in Florida, USA.

    We also assist in selecting candidates for the DFB/UEFA/TFV coaching licenses in collaboration with the State of Thuringia.

    Our community continues to grow—we’ve consulted for the DFB Academy, Hertha BSC Berlin, Hamburger SV, matchmetrics, and many other European and American professional clubs, players, coaches, colleges, and companies.

You’re in good company! Here are just a few of the top industry-leading organizations from our network of over 500 alumni, coaches, partners, and players.
