Common questions

Can’t find what you are looking for? Email [email protected].

Do I need to be a qualified coach?

No. The sessions are written for volunteer coaches who have little time. Each one tells you what to set up, what to say (three coaching points) and what to ask.

What equipment do I need?

Cones, bibs, balls and goals. Every session lists exactly what to put out, and there is a table for different numbers of players.

Which age groups are covered?

U5 to U11: 252 sessions, six blocks of six weeks for each age group. U12 and older are not covered yet.

Can I use it without a signal?

Yes. Save a block before you leave home and its sessions open with no connection. Paid sessions need to be confirmed online every 30 days.

Is there a free option?

Yes. Block 1 of every age group (42 sessions) is free to open, with no account and no card.

How do I cancel?

At any time from your account page. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. Fees are not refunded, apart from where the law says they must be (see the Terms).

Who is behind Goalside?

The sessions are designed by UEFA-qualified coaches for volunteer coaches of players aged 5 to 11. Read a note from the coach.
