Structured Curriculum
5.0
What really appealed to us was the structure of the training drills/curriculum. Each training session flowed correctly making sure the players were getting all their skills tuned with a good balance of game sense activities. By having this in place also makes it easier for the players to go up the grade levels with each jump adding extra skills and game situation drills for the age group. Also really enjoyed the pre-game layout, players and officials all were on the same page and new what needed to be done at certain times.

Tick of Approval!
5.0
As an athlete and coach, I learned that performance improves when you understand your training tasks and can practise them correctly under a knowledgeable eye. Having seen Wayne Oswald use the Advanced Coach Mentoring approach with my children and others, I know it is perfectly aligned with my coaching philosophies, and my children have become much better players because of it. Enormous gratitude and a tick of approval from me!

Aligned Game Plan
5.0
"The game specific training drills created a strong team culture where everyone was trained to understand and perform their match day roles. The game plan and the innovative drills were a platform on which the playing group could discover their own talents.

We learned a trusted game plan, trained it up accordingly and came away with the premiership !!"

Addresses every Challenge!
5.0
"I have used the ACM coaching resource as well as seen how the parent portal works. The quantity of materials available to assist coaches with training and game plans is amazing. It is complemented by the communication piece of the parent portal and combined means better football outcomes for the kids. There would not be a football situation or coaching challenge that has not been addressed in the coaching resource."
