Well that’s the list complete- my top 25 favourite soccer training websites placed in order of their popularity according to the Alexa traffic ranking system. If you’d like to get the free Alexa toolbar to get even more web information about these and other sites then please just click here.
In the meantime, I really suggest you visit as many of these sites as possible because they really can help all of our games- each site covers similar topics but from slightly different angles and perspectives so they should all be useful to you. I made the list because I love reading other soccer websites as well as creating my own (and you’ll notice I left off how2playsoccer.com from the list for the sake of impartiality) and maybe you’ll get the same enjoyment.
Have fun,
Soccer Geek,
x
P.S: Please be aware that the Alexa stats change regularly and that these may only be correct at the time of writing. Nevertheless, the list of good sites to visit remains the same, useful and hopefully timeless!

Hi thanks for pulling this together – I use a lot of these sites researching for my own soccer coaching site, and will try some of the others.
Can I humbly suggest http://www.betterfootball.co.uk for consideration?
There’s a few features such as Premier League player Julian Dicks’ Defensive Masterclass and interviews with soccer coaching experts which make it worth a read.
Keep up the good work on your site, i’ll make sure I pass on your details when I do my own list of favourite coaching sites!
Hi Pavl, thanks for the comment and the suggestion.
I visited your site and thought it looked great so I’ve now added it to this post. I also subscribed to your free report so I look forward to reading more from you in the future.
Enjoy the rest of the blog!
Great post! I have just created a couple of soccer coaching resources in the past year, so would not expect them to be on your list …. I hopefully will earn that distinction soon!

Hey Randy. I’ve also created an ‘in demand additions’ section on this post, to accompany my original list, where you’ll now find an entry for your sites.
Thanks for the tip off and it would be great to hear from you again soon.
Thank you for the time and consideration!
Hi gang,
Thanks so much for getting Keeper Skool listed up on this list. I wanted to also to suggest to each and everyone of you jbgoalkeeping.com, the grand daddy of goalkeeping sites.
I know that gettng different perspectives from many resources will benefit your development, many of the sites listed above are very good resources.
At Keeper Skool I reach out to some of the best goalkeeper coaches in the world on a regular basis to gauge their insights. In our membership area you also receive training guides from leading experts and we have a free forum as well.
Great site, keep up the good work guys!
No probs John. Thanks a lot and I will be sure to get jbgoalkeeping up on the ‘in demand additions’ list soon.
Cheers!
Thanks for the add, it’s really appreciated!
Kind regards, Pavl
Hey Soccer Geek (love that by the way) –
It’s the Coach over at Soccer Classroom. I love to see what you’re doing in helping to keep the soccer community fresh and live. All our players and coaches need all the best resources we can generate to create the best opportunities for our players. We applaud everyone who has the passion and dedication to “throw the hat in the ring” and create sites that make sense and educate.
We’re in the final stages of building content at SoccerClassroom and would invite you to come over and take a peek. And, if anyone is interested in writing an article for posting, we would invite you to join the 6,000+ Facebook fans in the community and consider the opportunity.
Here’s a new coaching website I found http://www.surefiresoccer.com. It includes free soccer drills, coaching tips, tactics, and soccer training resources and you can also sign up for a free eBook that includes 42 soccer coaching drills.
I am glad to be one of many visitors on this great web site (:, thanks for posting .
Hello Soccer Geek,
May i suggest askthegoalkeeper.com? I have used the website many times to help me coach a young goalkeeper and would highly reccomend the site.
Also many thanks for putting this list together, all great websites that will help me devlop myself as a coach and the players i work with.
Keep up the excellent work!!!
Thanks very much for the kind comment Ian and for suggesting askthegoalkeeper.com – when I update this post I will add some information about the website alongside the other listings. Cheers!
Fantastic blog! Great!
