How the community works: the stages, what is inside each one, how you unlock more, and the shape of the week.
The idea
The pitches, the gym, the kitchen, the rehab room, the analysis room. Each one covers a part of being a player. Here you get the knowledge and coverage of all of them, without being at one.
Rather than rely on someone else to hand you a plan, you learn the knowledge for yourself. Everything here teaches the foundations, so you can stand on your own.
For players everywhere. The route is taught for every country, not just one.
The stages
Everything sits in the Classroom, in four stages. Click through them to see what is inside each one.
Each stage goes deeper into the same subjects: the basics, then the next layer, then the hardest material.
Open on joining
Find your feet. Start Here shows how everything works, and The Overview gives you a taste of every area.
How it opens
The intro video, how it all works, how unlocking works, the rules, and your first post.
Short text pages, each a taster of one area, each pointing to where that area is taught in full.
The basics
Four broad areas that cover the basics of everything. Each one holds a folder for each of its subjects.
How it opens
Your technique, reading the game, and how a team plays together.
Practice with a purpose, and a football week that works.
How you grow and get stronger, what you eat, and how you recover and sleep.
Enjoyment, goals, confidence, nerves and pressure.
Going deeper
Eleven areas, one for each subject, with the next layer of topics.
How it opens
Game
First touch, passing, beating a player and finishing.
Reading the game: space, timing, anticipation and decisions.
Each position's job, shape, pressing and set plays.
Training
Practice that makes you better, and how to notice your progress.
Planning your week around football, school and everything else.
Body
Strength, speed, change of direction, jumping and endurance.
What to eat for growth, for training and for match days.
Rest, recovery, coming back from injury, and sleeping well.
Mind
Focus, self-talk, taking criticism, slow progress and leadership.
The RouteThese two start here
How football works behind the scenes: academies, scouting, contracts and agents.
Getting seen, trials and next steps, and more than one future.
The top
One room at the very top of the training ground.
How it opens
The hardest material, one folder per subject.
Unlocking
You level up by taking part: posting, asking questions and helping others. The likes you get for it raise your level. Locked areas stay visible with a padlock, so you can always see what is ahead.
Your level
Free is open. Take part to level up.
Everyone, from the moment you join.
Opens the deeper stages straight away.
Opens everything, the Elite Room included.
What you earn, you keep.A level you reach keeps everything it opened.
Helping others is how you go deeper.Helping is what earns likes. The Captain's Armband rewards exactly that, every week.
How you learn
Every topic is taught the same way, so you always know what you are getting.
A few minutes long, animated, and straight to the point.
The short version
The one thing
The short version in a few bullet points, and the one thing to remember.
Pick one. Every step is easy, none is compulsory, and none needs proof.
The loop
