What age is trial preparation for?

Boys and girls aged 5 to 14 preparing for grassroots trials, school teams or important matches.

Where do sessions take place?

At home, in the garden or at a local park across Enfield and nearby areas — EN1, EN2, EN3, EN4, N14, N21, EN5.

How close to the trial should we start?

The earlier the better. Both 8-week and 12-week blocks give enough time for meaningful preparation. Speak to the coach if the trial is soon and we'll advise honestly.

What does my child work on?

First touch, passing, decision-making, composure and confidence — all pitched at their age and ability.

What's the difference between Standard and Accelerated?

Both include 12 hours of coaching. Standard is 12 weekly 60-minute sessions across 12 weeks (£549). Accelerated is 8 weekly 90-minute sessions across 8 weeks (£499) — same coaching hours, better value.

Do parents get updates?

Yes. After each session, notes appear in the Parent Progress Hub.

What if my child doesn't get selected?

Selection isn't in our control — but sharper technique, better composure and clearer focus stay with your child for every match afterwards.

Parent Outcomes

What parents often want to see.

Trial-day confidence

Your child arrives calmer and clearer on what to show, instead of freezing under pressure.

Standout basics

First touch, passing and 1v1 moments look sharp — the things scouts and coaches notice quickly.

Clear plan on the day

A simple, personal game plan for the trial so your child knows exactly what to focus on.

Coach, safety & parent reassurance

The practical stuff parents want to know before booking.

The same safeguarding, coach and location standards apply to every service. Meet the coach · Safeguarding & photo consent

DBS-checked coach

All coaching is delivered by an enhanced-DBS-checked coach with a linked coach profile you can review before booking.

Age-appropriate coaching

Session complexity, workload and language are pitched to your child's age (5–14), fitness and previous experience.

Location & weather

Home, garden or a local park in Enfield and surrounding areas. If weather makes the venue unsafe we rearrange rather than press on.

Photography consent

No photo or video of your child is captured or shared without explicit parent or guardian consent (see our safeguarding & photo consent policy).

Parent contact & emergencies

A parent or guardian's contact number is required for every session. For under-8s a parent or guardian is expected to remain at the venue.

Not medical rehabilitation

Sessions are football coaching, not medical rehabilitation, physiotherapy or injury treatment. Please seek qualified medical advice for any injury concerns.

Additional notes for this service

Coaching cannot guarantee selection, a contract, or academy placement. What it can do is help your child arrive sharper, calmer and clearer about how they play best.
Trial environments vary. Where a trial format is known in advance, sessions replicate the likely demands as closely as one-to-one coaching allows.
