1-to-1 Coach FAQs

What are 1-to-1 & small-group coaching?

One-to-one and small-group coaches work on specific parts of a player's game: ball control, first touch, finishing, decision-making or a position. Sessions are usually an hour, often on a pitch or in a park, and are paid for by the session or in blocks. Good coaching adds focused practice to what a player already does with their club.

What should I look for?

A coaching licence from the FA or UEFA, not just "experience". An in-date DBS check and safeguarding training if they coach under-18s. Public liability insurance. A clear plan for what the sessions will work on, and how progress will be shown. Feedback to the player (and parent) after sessions.

Which qualifications or registrations matter?

FA and UEFA coaching licences: In England the pathway runs from FA entry courses (such as FA Playmaker) to the UEFA C, B and A Licences. Ask to see the certificate. DBS check and safeguarding training: For anyone coaching under-18s. An FA DBS check is needed in affiliated football.
