DP Football Coaching UK is a private coaching company founded in 2022, aiming to enhance technical development, foster confidence, and harness potential through the implementation of high-level coaching. Our programme has been heavily influenced by the pedagogical approaches of elite Category 1 academies, with founder Dominic Perkins having nearly a decade of experience working as a coach at two of Europe’s biggest clubs. Collectively, our team boasts over 50 years of coaching experience, ranging from grassroots to elite level, allowing us to cater to the needs of all ages and abilities.
Every session includes a dedicated section of ball mastery. It is our belief that mastering “ball feeling” in a variety of contexts is a continual and endless journey of improvement and should therefore be implemented in every session, regardless of age. Our practices are game-relevant and aim to create a love for the ball, whereby players are instinctively confident in possession, regardless of the challenge.
1v1 immersion is an effective way for us to apply ball mastery concepts in competitive, game-like duels. These sessions empower players to reach into their technical toolbox to ultimately solve problems and outwit their opponent whilst simultaneously exploring defensive principles.
These sessions explore a plethora of game-related concepts, including underloads, overloads, possession, and finishing, to name a few. Players are encouraged to express themselves while making multiple decisions, thus challenging them to contextualise their technical toolbox. These sessions focus more on why we apply our learned skills, rather than how we perform them.
Our small-sided games enable players to have a high number of touches on the ball in small, high-pressure environments, where conditions are applied to stretch individual learning further. These games encompass the skill sets acquired within the other elements of our programme. Decision-making is now at the epicentre of learning, with an emphasis shifting towards competitive, match-like scenarios.
Group sessions aimed to stretch players who train with or are signed to professional football clubs.
These sessions occur during school holidays and are a perfect opportunity for elite players to train together with a high intensity which mirrors their professional training environment.
These are targeted for specific age groups and offer a perfect opportunity to improve technical and tactical detail within a competitive yet fun environment.
These sessions provide learners with the opportunity to refine individual tecnhnique. We tailor each session to the needs of the individual.
The emphasis of these camps is FUN. An opportunity for children to spend school holidays with their friends, playing the sport they love in a relaxed environment.
We are able to provide additional training for local teams, incorporating our framework of technical immersion with attention to detail.
