1 on 1 Coaching

A player’s football education and understanding is very important. In school, if a child struggles or falls behind in a certain subject, they will receive additional work on a one-to-one basis. We should be offering exactly that in football.

1 on 1 Coaching

In Northern Ireland there is a problem with the lack of contact time players have with their coaches and clubs.  Generally most players will receive only one or two training sessions a week at their club.

Receiving two to three hours practice a week, including a match programme, is not nearly enough for any player to develop and gain a good knowledge of the game.  Elite players in England and Holland generally receive 9-12 hours practice time a week with their coaches and clubs!

Another issue is the education and development programme in place at clubs around the country.  There are some great youth coaches and clubs in place, but for every good set-up you can be sure there are six poorly run youth teams.

A player’s football education and understanding is very important.  In school, if a child struggles or falls behind in a certain subject, they will receive additional work on a one-to-one basis.  We should be offering exactly that in football.

Some players only train once or twice a week in a squad of 15-20 individuals.  If they have problems, they may often be left out of the starting line up, meaning that they will fall further behind.

Our coaches can offer a package to suit each individual.  You can book a weekly individual session for your child to work on their technique to improve certain parts of their game.

The 1 on 1 coaching session includes;

  • Consultation & private programme
  • Warm up
  • Individual technical work
  • Skill stations
  • Free play
  • Cool down
  • Debrief & home work
  • Player Development Plan (PDP)
  • A copy of Tim Wareing’s 1-on-1 Coaching book that has sold in over 30 different countries!
1-on-1 coaching may not be a priority for a parent, but I feel it should be if you really want your child to improve their technical ability.  This is especially true for children who are struggling.  It can be the difference between becoming a regular team player or leaving the game altogether.

See us in action!  We filmed the footage from our 1-on-1 sessions & you can view them.




Small Group Coaching

To make the sessions more affordable we can offer ‘Mates Rates’.  Your child can come with a small group of friends to work with our coach.  This not only makes the package more affordable but adds to the technical and tactical sessions through having more players available.  This increases the possibilities to work on certain phases of play and small sided games.  We then can introduce pressurised drills which in turn will help improve decision making and each individual.

After working with our 1-on-1 Coaching Programme for six months one of our trainees, Luke Fisher, was invited to join the Liverpool Academy based in Belfast.  He was also invited to the IFA County Excellence Programme.  After a successful performance in Holland seven clubs began to track Luke’s progress and both Liverpool and SC Braga offered trials.  A little while ago Luke jetted off to Liverpool for what turned out to be a successful experience .
