OUR HELP CENTER
WHAT ARE THE COSTS OF THE SESSIONS?
Prices vary as we have a range of different sessions and discounts available. You can see all our session prices on our Sessions page.
WHERE CAN THIS TAKE ME?
Our aim is to support each player to achieve their desired goals. We want you to dream big!
HOW HARD IS IT TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER?
Becoming a professional footballer is highly competitive and the statistics show that from those children who enter into professional academies at the age of nine, less than 1% will be successful as a professional footballer at any level. This decreases even more for those who are successful in playing Premier League football, with just 180 children of the 1.5 million making it - that’s only 0.012%. Seems almost impossible - but don’t worry as our coaches who know what it takes to get to that level!
WHAT AGE DO YOU NEED TO BE TO JOIN YOUR SESSIONS?
Our sessions start from ages 5 upwards with both male and female players.
IS THIS A FOOTBALL CLUB?
No. We are elite player development specialists who help you to grow your confidence and develop the skills you need to progress to the next level of your football journey. We do however have links to clubs across England and Europe.
DO YOU PLAY MATCHES?
We use game related practices such as 1v1s, 2v2s, 3v3s, 4v4s, 5v5s and 6v6s to develop game insight during training sessions. Also, we offer opportunities to be a part of showcase games either via us or through partner football organisations we work with.
CAN I GET A TRIAL AT A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL ACADEMY THROUGH THIS?
Yes, however this is not guaranteed. Trials at professional football academies are competitive due to the vast amount of talented football players. Most times, we will only recommend a player to a professional football academy for a trial after seeing and assessing your abilities after at least 8 weeks. This is also the usual amount of time for a trial at a professional football academy.
HAVE YOU WORKED WITH PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS?
Yes. All of our coaches have worked in professional academy football including Arsenal FC, Charlton FC, Crystal Palace FC, Fulham FC, Norwich FC, Southend United FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC and West Ham United FC. Also recently we have worked with First Team and U23 players preparing for their preason including: Charlie Kerman (QPR FC & USA U20s), Adetayo Adedoja (Southend United FC), Matthew Rush (Southend United FC), Jon Benton (Southend United FC), Harry Season (Southend United FC), Harrison Sodje (Leyton Orient FC), Keleb Nwubani (TUS 1895 ErntebrÃœck) and Alessandro Odobo (FC Wacker Innsbruck).
I PLAY AT A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL ACADEMY AND WOULD LIKE TO BENEFIT FROM EXTRA TRAINING WITH YOU?
To become a professional footballer, extra is always required. Most academy players nowadays are actively training extra hours on top of their academy schedule to further develop their football skills and gain more advantages in what is a very competitive environment. We develop our sessions to ensure that they complement what have been identified as your strengths, areas of development and positions within the professional football academy you are part of. To ensure that your training load is managed appropriately we work closely with each player to understand their overall weekly schedule.
I AM 18 YEARS OF AGE, IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME?
No. There are many examples of players who have either been released by a professional football academy or only playing grassroots before breaking into professional football at a later age. Jamie vardy is a great example of this! It’s important though to understand that you may have to readjust your expectations and play at a semi-professional level in order to work your way through the leagues.
I HAVE BEEN RELEASED BY A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL CLUB, CAN YOU HELP ME TO GET INTO ANOTHER ONE?
Being released from a professional football club at any age is tough and we understand the challenges to bounce back. From our long term experience at the elite level, we can support you to refine your skills and build the confidence to try a different route.
WHAT ARE 1-TO-1 SESSIONS AND HOW WILL THEY BENEFIT ME?
1-to-1 sessions are focussed around developing your specific needs specifically technically, tactically, psychologically and physically. 1-to-1 sessions give players the opportunity to spend more time with the ball at their feet and learn, develop and refine the fundamental skills with a highly focussed level of coaching detail to do so. 1-to-1 sessions also help to enhance the speed of development enabling you stand out more on the pitch!
WHAT AGE DO YOU NEED TO BE TO HAVE 1-TO-1 SESSIONS?
Our 1-to-1 sessions start from 5 years of age through to First Team level
WHAT TIME ARE THE SESSIONS?
We have regular weekday group sessions which you can find on our Session page. We also have slots you can choose for 1-to-1, group blitz, team and zoom fire sessions.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE MY SON OR DAUGHTER TO DEVELOP TO AN ELITE LEVEL?
It depends on the number of sessions they attend, player understanding of what is required of them and also committing to extra on your own. We will always set homework tasks for players to complete to help fasttrack their development.
HOW DO YOU ENSURE THAT THE ENVIRONMENT IS SAFE?
All of our coaches are first aid trained and have up to date safeguarding qualifications. There is also access to first aid kits and a defibrillator onsite.
DO YOU TRAIN AT ANY OTHER VENUES?
Yes. Although Enfield College is our Hub location, we do deliver sessions across various Powerleagues.
DO YOU OFFER SPORTS & CONDITIONING SUPPORT?
Yes. Sports & Conditioning is a key part of player development. We can recommend S&C specialist support and work with physios as well.
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO YOUR COACHES HAVE?
We want to make sure that each player we work with receives the highest level of coaching expertise, hence all our coaches are either UEFA A or UEFA B qualified.
DO YOU DELIVER HOLIDAY CAMPS AS WELL?
Yes. We deliver elite holiday camps, but these have limited spaces.
WHAT IS AN UNO PLAYMAKER AND WHY DO YOU USE IT?
UNO Playmaker is a wearable tracker on your boots which help to measure, track and compare your football specific metrics. This includes technical football metrics such as number of touches off both feet and physical football metrics such as top speed. Overal,l 13 metrics are tracked during the training session. This enables us to support improving your game more with specific data tailored to you.
This is used by professional clubs such as Fulham FC, Norwich FC and Rangers FC.
WHAT IS A VEO CAMERA AND WHY DO YOU USE IT?
The VEO Camera records live footage for training and matches. This is an excellent tool to reflect on actions performed in training and to help analyse your football development in more detail. Used by top clubs such as AS Roma, FC Barcelona Academy and Leicester City FC, we are pleased to be able to offer this as a development tool for our players.
