What Others Say
Rather than talking about ourselves, we much prefer for players to come along and experience a coaching session themselves. We also understand, that as parents or guardians, you want to know a little more about what we do and how we do it. So rather than listen to us, here are the thoughts of some parents and players who have been involved with DS11 Coaching through one or more of our many sessions.
“Dave is a brilliant ambassador for grassroots football coaching. Wednesday night’s development centre is a highlight of the week because of Dave’s natural ability to bring out the enjoyment of the game amongst the children as well as develop their skills. He is passionate about making it fun for all abilities and ensuring that each child is encouraged and challenged to be their best footballer, whatever their level. Dave and his development centre do more than football coaching - the children’s self esteem is boosted because of the relaxed, friendly bond that he forms with each of them and the group, as a whole. He is a great role model and the development centre is a great group to belong to - thanks Dave.”

“I really like Dave's sessions because he focuses more on your skills and technique. He doesn't just let you play; if we make mistakes he'll stop the game to point out what's wrong and what to do to do it better. We focus on different things every week. Dave is really active and fun in the sessions, he makes sure we each know exactly what we're trying to improve on ”
Max, 11 years old, Development Centre player
“My son's part of a local team, but wanted to do more training, so he attends Dave's Wednesday night Development Centre. Because it's a relatively small group, each player benefits from a higher level of attention. Aside from his vast coaching experience, the connections that Dave makes with each player is what's quite unique I think. He knows each one of his players both in terms of their footballing training needs and ability but also their personalities, and how to get the best out of every individual. Every session is fun, inclusive and Dave challenges every player to achieve their potential. As a parent I can also see the knock on effect in my son's confidence and his social interactions with other players. Highly recommend DS11 Coaching”

“I'm so proud of Zach. He's loving it. Dave, I don't think you realise what you are doing for his confidence. Thank you”
