1 to 1 Coaching

We believe 1 to 1 coaching is the best way to improve one's technical ability and raise their game to that elite level. All sessions will be tailored to the individual's ability, position and personal goals. 

During our one-to-one coaching sessions, the individual will receive undivided attention and personalized guidance to address specific areas for improvement. We'll work together to identify one's strengths and weaknesses, creating a comprehensive training plan that accelerates  progress and builds confidence on and off the field.

Our FA qualified coaches will deliver a 1 hour structured, position-specific session focusing on the key aspects below.

Boys and girls welcome!

Methodology

For outfielders (6-11)

Dribbling

• Basic level dribbling;

• Ball mastery using different parts of the foot (sole, outside, inside)

• Beginner skills to go past the opponent (various skills)

• Learning to take positive touches into space (taking the ball into spaces of the pitch where we have more time and control)

• Understanding when to use larger touches vs smaller touches when dribbling

Passing

• Learning the fundamental technique to a short pass (correct swing of leg/use of body)

• Variations on short passes using different parts of the foot

• Passing along the ground

• Lofted passing (having to adjust body, use correct part of foot and maintain balance)

• Variation on type of pass; hard pass on the ground, chipped pass, scooped pass, spin pass etc

• Receiving passes; making a movement in order to create an angle to receive the ball, checking shoulder before receiving the pass to be aware of surroundings

Shooting

• Learning the techniques to generate power

• Having control on the shot (control of power and accuracy)

• Using disguise on the shot to trick the keeper (late changes in body movement, exaggeration of arm movement, not looking at ball or intended destination of ball)

• Ability to make a driven low shot (head over the ball, correct contact of foot on the ball)

• Learning different types of shots (finesse/curve, low shot, high shot etc)

Non-ball activities

• Footwork (being able to shift feet quickly and in a co-ordinated manner)

• Balance (stability on one foot, stability whilst protecting the ball)

• Speed

• Strength

• Agility

• Match realistic movements depending on player position

For outfielders (11+ or high ability players):

Dribbling

• Learning more complex skills when attacking an opponent

• Incorporating skill combinations to be less predictable

• Match realistic dribbling dependent on position (e.g. centre back will need to be able to beat the press of the attackers, centre midfielders will need tighter control if being pressed by more than one opponent)

• Dribbling under pressure and using their body correctly to be strong and protect the ball (using arms to maintain distance, getting leg in front to protect the ball)

• Higher intensity dribbling (dribbling at speed, change of direction, slow dribbling to fast dribbling to offset opponent)

Passing

• Mastering short range passing and developing longer range passes

• Developing the ability to make firm passes and receive them

• Learning how to not only play the ball to a player but also into spaces (more commonly done with longer range passing, i.e into the sides of the pitch known as channels or in behind the opponent’s defensive line)

• Range of long range passing (along the ground using laces/finesse along ground/finesse in the air etc)

• Learning to scan the pitch quickly and executing pass efficiently (playing under pressure)

Shooting

• Mastering close range finishes (adjusting body quickly depending on the delivery of the ball/positioning of goalkeeper)

• Shooting under pressure (ability to release shot quickly after controlling the ball)

• Ability to perform more complex shots (volley, half volley, header etc)

• Learning to perform complex shots on both the right and left foot

• Creating a range of different dynamic movements to create a better angle for the pass and shot (more for attackers)

Non ball activities

• Checking shoulders and scanning the pitch to know your next move before you receive the ball

• Lower body strength (jumping, holding squatted position, pushing off of single leg which is used when accelerating etc)

• Speed (sprinting from still position, sprinting from moving position, sprinting as a reaction to a sound or visual etc)

• Agility

• Balance (balance on one leg, balance whilst being moved, balance from landing post-jump etc)

• Movements

• Tactical astuteness
