Get football coaching with a private coach in Cork

Why choose football as a sport? 

We are spoilt for choice when it comes to sports as there is such a huge variety and collection out there, basketball, hockey, track, swimming, archery and many many others. The advantage of football is that it is one of the most popular team sports in the world which makes it more likely you will meet people who enjoy playing it. Compared to kayaking for example, you’ll find it much easier to find someone to play with and enjoy the same hobby with. 

Due to its popularity in Ireland there are also plenty of local clubs and teams that you could join if you were interested in playing more regularly and even potentially participating in competitions and leagues. 

If you are hoping to get into the sport then joining a club would be a good idea as you will be able to practice more and experience playing against full teams. If you want to take things more seriously and really learn how to improve, you may find that the one or two hours of practice a week isn’t enough for you, especially taking into account that the team coach doesn’t have the time to focus on any one of the players too much. 

Advantages of getting a coach to increase your skills 

If you decide to get the help of one of our football coaches you will be able to benefit from their complete focus on you during your training time. Since they won’t be dealing with other players during the training time, they can really focus on your ability and areas that could be improved and honed.  

If your goal is to take football more seriously and join your school or university team for example, then getting feedback on your playing and receiving instruction on how to improve it is definitely the correct step.  

What can a football coach help you with?

Many of our coaches like to approach the training sessions as opportunities for self improvement, to get better at the sport by improving your agility and team work but to also attain more confidence in yourself and your skills. Participating in a team sport such as football can truly affect your life as it teaches you how to engage in teamwork effectively, how to communicate and will help keep you healthy. Our coaches know this and many aim to try and include other skills to be taught in their lessons so that not only are you a better player but that you are also more confident in yourself and aware of your many skills.  

Many lessons are technical based with focus on basics such as ballwork and footing. If you don’t master and continue to improve those skills you won’t see many good results when you play.  

Some other coaches like to focus on the tactical areas of the game and how to better interact with your teammates so that you are a better team player and a more effective footballer.  

Fitness training is also a very common lesson that is provided as you will see results in all facets of your playing when you become faster, have more endurance and become more agile. Becoming fitter will also benefit you in your personal life and long-term health. 

Who can benefit from these lessons? 

Anyone that wants to learn more about football and to get better at it, are more than welcome. The lessons can be tailored to fit children or adults as it is never to early nor too late to start learning about the sport. Due to our coaches wanting to put more focus into helping individuals improve, group lessons are normally not provided but if you are looking to see if you and a group of friends can practice and learn together then don’t hesitate to ask the coach if it is possible.  

Our coaches will base their lessons around the areas that you want to improve in or learn about so beginners and experienced players are welcome and will benefit from the classes.
