Testimonials

“My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed this course at Training Ground. The activities are fun and varied, with new skills being learned and developed each time she attends. The coaches are brilliant, both with their knowledge of football but also their ability to teach and associate with the children on their level. It’s good to know that the boredom of the next school holiday has been solved in such a positive way by Training Ground.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the course, as training never becomes tedious even though we trained every day. I also especially enjoyed the way in which the football was incorporated into the academic side of the Football Development Centre. It’s really helped me both on and off the pitch; it’s been a great experience.”
Josh Phelps - Football Development Centre player

“In July I enjoyed the fulfilling experience of a soccer tour in Italy with our team of 17 young women and the coaches from Training Ground. They combine the rare qualities of highly professional coaching and training sessions and matches with the ability to be genuine friends and supporters of all our girls. To be able to do that and have as much fun as we did on tour, makes for an unforgettable and enriching experience for the whole club.”

"I had a fantastic time over in the USA on Soccer Showcase tour. It was an amazing experience. Gary and Jon were excellent to us, they coached us on our training sessions and worked through with us in our matches. They gave us all the help and support while trying to impress scouts and trying to get scholarships. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to try and get a scholarship, its an experience of a lifetime, and it was one of the best trips I have ever been on."
