Football Coaching For Kids
PSC Football Academy offers elite football coaching for kids. Complementing the coaching aspiring young footballers receive at grassroots clubs, bridging the gap between junior football clubs and professional Academies.
‘There is no room for criticism on the training field. For a player – and for any human being – there is nothing better than hearing ‘well done’. Those are the two best words ever invented in sports.’
– Sir Alex Ferguson
We inspire, motivate and nurture young footballers of all abilities in a positive and professional environment.
PSC goes above and beyond with football coaching for kids. We work to small group sizes. This allows us to take that extra time to advise and develop players as individuals. Whether that be giving them the support they need to learn a new skill, boosting confidence in their own ability or simply giving them that all-important high five! There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the progress of our players.

Tailored Coaching Levels
Children are placed in the perfect session for them. Our coaching programme has three training strands. This creates opportunities for beginner, intermediate and elite level players to express themselves and train in an environment that is best suited to them.
Beginner
Players are instantly put at ease by our highly experienced coaches. Beginner sessions use fun and exciting games to engage players, introduce an understanding of the fundamental elements of the game and develop basic ball control skills.
New players to the game are constantly praised and encouraged by our dedicated coaches who integrate the FA’s four corner player development model into all sessions, focusing on technical and tactical development, building confidence and developing concentration skills. Additionally, the physical and social development provides just as much benefit to our young players.
Above all players can meet new friends, feel part of a team and have fun as they learn and develop.
Intermediate
The Intermediate coaching strand focuses on structured sessions that enhance the coaching players receive at grassroots level, further developing players individual skills and knowledge of the game.
Sessions focus on developing ball mastery and confidence on the ball, encouraging players to think and play more creatively. After that, technical and tactical aspects of the game are explored in more detail.
Players are encouraged to reflect on their own strengths and weaknesses both as individuals and as part of a team.
Small group sizes mean coaches can take the time to give individual feedback. Individual Development Plans (IDPs) track player progress at the end of each coaching block.
Elite
Elite development sessions focus on challenging and nurturing players who demonstrate real aptitude and potential. Players in the Elite strand have a strong understanding of the game and awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses and show a willingness to learn and develop.
High intensity sessions focus on encouraging creativity and flair. After this, tactical awareness and resilience is developed.
Small group sizes allow coaches time to give individual feedback during sessions. All players work to Individual Development Plans (IDPs). This allows us to track player progress at the end of each coaching block.
