Small group sessions are excellent for providing the best of both worlds, between 1-2-1 and team training:
✅ With a maximum of 6 players per session, individual contact time with the coach is maximised, whilst still providing players with healthy competition through opposed practices
✅ Small group training intensifies the learning experience under the expert and personalised guidance of the coach
✅ Focus on individual ball mastery, take part in position specific practices, and develop technical and tactical understanding at a deeper level
✅ High energy sessions to improve fitness, agility, balance & coordination
✅ Work with our expert Academy coaches to identify specific areas of development. Our team will create an individual learning plan to support long term player development
✅ Allows for a wider range of practices when compared to 1-2-1 sessions

LEAD COACH
Dan is one of our homegrown coaches, and so has learned from the very best!
Dan's passion for his own progression and development as a coach is clear; with a Level 4 qualification in Elite Sports Performance, currently studying PE and School Sport at Sheffield Hallam University, and working at UEFA C level. He really is a firm favourite with our players, and is our current Elite Academy U13s coach.
Dan's coaching ethos is based around holistically developing young footballers, improving not only their technical and tactical skills, but building strong characters and mindsets. Here's what Dan has to say about his own practice:
"My goal is to enable players to develop a desire to improve in every session. Mistakes are a part of the process, and I strive to create an environment where players are comfortable taking risks and can use failure as an opportunity to learn.
I am passionate about ensuring that our young players love the game and are buzzing to train and represent the club. I love supporting and guiding our players on their journey with us, helping players become the best versions of themselves."
