Who it's for

One Programme. Your Whole Department.

Sending coaches one by one to generic courses spreads the knowledge thin. A programme for your staff gives everyone the same language — and it's built around the problems your club actually has.

Clubs & Academies

Align your academy staff on one methodology, upskill a department (goalkeeping, analysis, scouting), or prepare coaches for the next step in your pathway.

Federations & Associations

Continuing education for licensed coaches in your region — live sessions with European practitioners, delivered in your language, on your calendar.

Clubs Abroad

For directors of coaching in the US, Canada, the Middle East and beyond who want their staff to learn how European clubs work — online, or on the ground in Portugal and Spain.

Formats

Delivered The Way Your Staff Works.

Live Online Cohort

A private cohort for your coaches: live sessions with our faculty, scheduled around your season and time zone, with the recordings kept for your staff.

On-Site Workshop

Our instructors come to your club — classroom and pitch sessions with your own coaches and players, applied directly to your training environment.

Study Visit — Portugal & Spain

Bring your staff to Iberia: observation at professional clubs, sessions with working coaches, and full logistics handled by our events team.

Blended Programme

Online sessions across the season, anchored by an in-person block — the format most clubs choose for a full methodology alignment.

What we teach

Built From Our Faculty.

Every programme is assembled from the expertise of our faculty — coaches, analysts and scouts currently working in professional football. The most requested areas:

Goalkeeping

A goalkeeping department with one model — from academy to first team.

Game Model & Methodology

Building a club-wide game model and training methodology your coaches can actually apply.

Scouting & Recruitment

Observation criteria, reporting standards and a recruitment process your scouts share.

Match Analysis

Analysis workflows that connect video and data to what happens on the training pitch.

Performance & Periodisation

Load, speed and injury-risk management planned across the season.

Youth Development

Age-group pathways, player development plans and the coaching behaviours that support them.

How it works

From First Call To Certificates.

Step 1

Scoping call

We talk through your staff, your game model and the gaps you want closed — and tell you plainly whether we're the right fit.

Step 2

Proposal

A written programme: instructors, sessions, schedule, format and a fixed quote for the whole group.

Step 3

Delivery

Sessions run on your calendar, in your language, with one Sportrail contact managing the programme end to end.

Step 4

Certificates & follow-up

Each coach receives a certificate stating hours and content, and the organisation is invoiced directly with its tax details.

Where our coaches have worked

From the Premier League to the Liga Portugal.

Sportrail instructors actively coach, scout and direct at clubs across Europe — these are some of them.

Common questions

Straight Answers.

Can the programme follow our own game model?
Yes — that's the point. Every staff programme is tailor-made: we start from your methodology and the problems your coaches face, not from a fixed syllabus.
Do the hours count towards our coaches' licence renewal?
That depends on the federation that issued the licence. Every coach receives a certificate with the hours and content covered. Tell us which federation your coaches are licensed with and we'll confirm what applies before you commit.
What languages do you teach in?
Portuguese, English, Spanish and French.
How is it priced?
Per programme, not per seat — based on group size, number of sessions and format. You get a fixed quote in the proposal, before anything is booked.
Can you invoice our club or federation?
Yes. We invoice the organisation directly, with its legal name and tax number.
We need more than education — structure, recruitment, a new academy.
That's our consulting work, including club and academy development in Portugal. Many projects combine both.
