Every child deserves a great coach.

Every coach deserves the opportunity to become one.

Great coaching is about more than knowing a sport. It’s about understanding HOW children learn, helping them build confidence, and inspiring them to keep playing.

CoachingSchool provides FREE, research-informed education for youth sports coaches and instructors, with a special focus on children ages 5-10.

Whether you’re a first-time volunteer or an experienced professional, there’s always more to learn about HOW to coach kids.

Start Learning – FREE

WHAT you say &
HOW you say it matters

CoachingClass teaches you the best ways
to help kids learn and perform at their very best.

The Difference

We teach HOW to coach, not just WHAT to coach.

Knowing a sport and knowing how to teach it are two different skills.

CoachingSchool helps coaches understand how children learn, build confidence, and develop skills through positive, engaging experiences/coaching.

Because great coaching isn’t just about what you teach. It’s about how you teach it.

FREE and Easy

Great coaching education should be available to everyone!

Our three CoachingClasss lessons are FREE for every coach, regardless of sport or experience.

Watch anytime, anywhere, at your own pace. No registration, subscription, or payment required.

Great coaching education for kids should never be out of reach.

Meaningful Certification

Demonstrate what you’ve learned.

Watching a lesson is a great start. Understanding how to apply what you’ve learned is even better.

Our affordable online assessment helps coaches demonstrate their understanding of the principles behind effective youth sports coaching.

Pass the assessment and earn a CoachingSchool certification valid for two year.

Parents Matter, Too!

Parents are part of the coaching team.

A child’s sports experience doesn’t end when practice is over.

Our Parent Guides help parents understand what their children are learning and how to encourage their development without adding pressure.

When coaches and parent work together, kids benefit.

Organizations – We’ve got your back!

Better prepared coaches. Better experiences for kids. And better programs.

Whether you’re running a recreation department, sports club, or youth league, the quality of your coaches matters.

CoachingSchool provides FREE education for every coach, affordable certification, and organizational reporting included with assessment purchases.

Help your coaches create experiences that make children want to return next season.

Built on Experience. Backed by Research.

Great coaches never stop learning.

CoachingSchool brings together decades of hands-on coaching, instructor education, research-informed teaching principles.

Our approach focuses on how children learn, how coaches communicate, and how positive experiences inspire a lifelong love of sports.

Because becoming a better coach is a journey, not a destination.
