Partially by accident, I have ended up as the coach of my son's U11s team for the coming season. I've done my FAW Leaders Award and am now looking for good online resources (preferably cheap / free) that other coaches use to plan training sessions.
I have been looking at https://playerdevelopmentproject.com/ which seems to have some good stuff on there but only a very small amount is free and, at $149 a year, it's a bit pricey.
Grateful for any suggestions - thanks in advance.

Good luck buddy. I coached my lads team for 6 yrs from under 7s. The hardest job is the parents! Keeping every kid involved as much as possible is biggest challenge. As much as you'll wanna win, the kids soon forget the result!. All ide recommend is keep it simple, make sure they have fun and get yourself a good number 2 ( assistant). The more fun they have...the quicker they progress.

Good luck mate, I took the plunge with a grassroots team 6 years ago, now I'm 4000 miles away from home and doing it as a 'job', pah!
PDP is very good, but expensive, and sometimes over complex, in their material.
Try the Coaching Manual, which for around £30 a year, has sessions, articles and material that will help you out.
I'm not sure if you're on Twitter, but you only need to follow a few accounts and your timeline is eventually filled everyday with people posting different session ideas and topical issues to do with youth coaching.
Lastly, remember that the game belongs to the players! Think back to when you were 12 years old, and what you wanted out of footie practice, stick to that and you won't go far wrong.
Any help you need, feel free to send me a message.

Totally agree. I as so many parents such as you Matt have ended up with this unenviable task. Try and use the 3 word principle : FUN (leads to) LEARNING (leads to) DEVELOPMENT
Good luck Matt. Without parents like you there would be no Junior football.

I found the FAW stuff that comes with the leaders course good. keep it simple and don't overcomplicate.
pre warm up / warm up / drills / match related / always finish with a game.
Plenty of soccer coaching ideas on youtube. I found this guy easy to watch and listen to
If you can, also take advice and watch how professionals in child care such as teachers, youth leaders etc deal with kids, eg using positive language. Tell them what you want them to do, not what you don't want them to do.

Cheers mate - so far, so good and I have to say the parents are (to date) not a problem.
