You have 3 seconds to escape…

Pass the ball back and forth.

Wait for the GO‼️

Then ESCAPE.💨

Get over the line with the ball = 1 point 🙌

Get the other player’s bib = 1 point 🫡

Sounds easy…

Until someone is trying to catch you. 😂

Who do you think won? 👀👇

Tag the teammate you’d back to win this. ⬇️

WHAT DOES YOUR PLAYER ACTUALLY NEED TO IMPROVE?

It's easy to say:

“They need more confidence.”

“They need a better first touch.”

“They need to be better 1v1.”

But the important question is:

What are we doing about it?

Elite Development is built around helping players improve the technical and performance qualities that actually show up in games.

For 26/27:

⚽ Group Development
🎯 1on1 Development
🔥 Hybrid Membership

DM “DEVELOP” to find the right option.

DM “DEVELOP” to find the right option.

Training is not automatically development.

A player can attend session after session and still repeat the same weaknesses.

Real development requires identifying what needs work, creating the right challenge and then giving the player enough quality repetition to improve.

That's the approach behind Elite Development.

Train with purpose.
Develop with intent.
Apply it in the game.

WE’RE NOT JUST COACHES.

We’re not here simply to teach a player how to pass, shoot, dribble or score.

Football is the vehicle.

The real goal is to help create strong, resilient, confident young people who can deal with setbacks, keep going when things get difficult, believe in themselves and take those lessons into every part of their lives.

Some players will continue into the next phase of football.

Some will progress into academies, colleges or the professional game.

Others will discover different interests. Different passions. Different opportunities.

And that’s okay.

Because the true measure of what we do isn’t just how far a player goes in football.

It’s seeing who they become.

Watching them grow from children into teenagers.

From school, into college.

And eventually into young adults.

And sometimes, years later, you realise the impact went far beyond the pitch.

Players who are older now still message asking:

“When are you coming back?”

Families who you worked with years ago still stay connected.

People who once stood on the side of a football pitch watching their child train now invite you to fly back to countries you once called home for periods of your life — simply because they want to see you again.

And that means more than any result, trophy or achievement ever could.

Because when you truly impact a life...

those people don’t just remember you.

They keep you in their lives.

And those people and families...

become part of your life too.

Your first touch doesn’t just control the ball.

It sets up your next action.

The direction of your touch.
Your movement.
Your body shape.
And what you do next.

That’s why we don’t just practise touches — we practise using them in situations that lead to the next action.

A first touch isn’t just about stopping the ball.

It’s about creating your next action.

In this practice, the player receives around the edge of the box, takes their touch into space, moves to create the next opportunity and then attacks the goal.

We’re looking at:

⚽️ Direction of first touch
🏃 Movement after the touch
👀 Awareness of space
🎯 Creating an opportunity to finish

Because the best first touch doesn’t just keep you in possession…

It puts you in a position to attack.

That’s the kind of detail we work on at Elite Football Coaching. ⚽️

“THEY ALREADY PLAY FOR A TEAM.”

We hear this a lot.

And that's okay.

Elite Football Coaching isn't designed to replace club football.

It's supplementary development.

Club football gives players an important team environment, match experience and tactical learning.

Additional development can give them more opportunity to work on specific areas of their game.

The objective isn't simply to add more hours.
It's to make the hours count.

If your player already plays for a club and you're wondering whether Elite would benefit them,

DM:“DEVELOP”

and tell us their age and what you'd like them to improve.

To all of our Elite Football Coaching players heading back to school today…

Whether it’s your first day at a new school, starting secondary school, heading into your GCSE years, or getting ready for college — we hope you have an amazing day. 💛

New classrooms.
New teachers.
New challenges.
New opportunities.

And remember, the same things that help you develop as a footballer can help you in school too:

Work hard. Stay curious. Keep learning. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

You don’t have to have everything figured out on day one.

Just take it one day, one challenge and one step at a time.

We’re excited to see you all back on the pitch soon. ⚽️💛

If your child trains 2–3 times a week, that’s a lot of hours on the pitch.

The question isn’t:

“How can I get them more football?”

It’s:

“How can I make those hours count?”

Our Player Development Sessions are designed for players aged 6–15 who want to get better.

They’ll get more opportunities to develop:

TOUCH → first touch, ball control, passing
MOVEMENT → coordination, speed, agility, movement
DECISIONS → scanning, awareness, choosing the right action
CONFIDENCE → 1v1s, creativity, taking risks

It’s not about doing more for the sake of more.

It’s about making the extra work worth it.

Your child’s next level starts with what they do between matches.

👇 Secure their place.

How often are they challenged?

At Elite Football Coaching, our sessions for 6–15-year-olds are designed around exactly that.

Technical development.
Movement.
Decision-making.
1v1s.
Game understanding.

YOUR PLAYER DOESN'T NEED MORE FOOTBALL. THEY NEED THE RIGHT DEVELOPMENT.

Most young players already get football every week.

Team training.
Matches.
Maybe extra sessions.

But simply adding more football isn't the answer.

The question is❓:

Are they working on the things that will actually make them better?

That's the purpose of Elite Development.

For 26/27, EFC is offering structured
Group, 1on1 and Hybrid development for players who want to improve their game.

Coach: “Okay, so the reason we want you to go left then right takes over…”

5 minutes of technical detail later… 😂

Player: “Yeah, got it.”

Does absolutely nothing like we just explained. 🤣

But here’s the thing…

That’s football. ⚽️

We give players the technical detail.
We explain the why.
We give them the tools.

But then we want them to think, experiment and find their own solution.

Because we’re not trying to create robots who perform every movement exactly how the coach demonstrated it.

We’re developing footballers who can adapt.

Sometimes they take your coaching…

Turn it upside down…

And somehow come up with something even better. 😂👏

More touches. Better movement. Smarter decisions.

That’s what we’re building.

For players aged 6–15, Elite Football Coaching sessions give your child the opportunity to get the repetitions and coaching they simply can’t always get during team training.

They’ll work on:

TECHNICAL
First touch • Passing • Ball mastery • 1v1

PHYSICAL
Movement • Coordination • Speed • Agility

MENTAL
Scanning • Decisions • Confidence • Game understanding

The outcome?

A player who is more comfortable on the ball, moves better and makes better decisions.

Don’t just add another football session to the week.

Add a session that has a purpose.

Your weaker foot won’t magically become your stronger foot. 👀⚽️

The more you use it, the more comfortable you become with it.

Passing. Receiving. Turning. Finishing.

It might feel awkward at first — that’s the point.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable, give that foot more opportunities to work, and over time it starts to feel much more natural.

Waiting for “GO!”…

It all came down to this one!

Could they get over the line before the bib was grabbed? 👀

This is the bit I want players to remember.

Improvement rarely looks impressive while it’s happening.

It looks like:

Miss.
Try again.
Miss.
Change something.
Try again.
Get it wrong.
Try again.

Then suddenly…

it works.

Don’t be afraid of getting it wrong.

Be afraid of giving up before you get it right.

👕 Get your opponent’s bib before they escape = 1 point

When you’re watching football, it’s easy to follow the ball.

What do they do after they lose it?

Are they scanning?

Are they creating space?

Are they helping teammates?

These tiny details tell you far more than one good skill ever will.

This is why repetition alone isn’t enough.

If you repeat the wrong movement 50 times…

you’ve just become very good at doing it wrong.

Players need:
