Professional coaching, real player development
WDR Coaching
Football coaching by professional coaches, for children and players of all ages and abilities — helping them develop their ability, confidence and understanding of the game through high-quality, player-focused coaching.
What we offer
Four ways to get coached
Same coaches, same pitch. The difference is how many of them are on it with you.
On your own, or in a pair
- 1-2-1 sessionsCompletely individual. Personalised coaching designed around one player, focused on their technique, confidence, understanding and overall game.
- 2-2-1 sessionsTwo players with one coach. Individual attention, with more interaction, competition and decision-making through partner-based practices.
With other players
- Small group sessionsSmall groups training together in a focused environment — technical ability, decision-making, teamwork and game understanding, with everyone involved throughout.
- Feedback sessionsA session followed by detailed written feedback — strengths, areas to improve and clear next steps for players and parents.
What to expect
The first session is the same for everyone
After that, every session is built around you.
Your first session gives us the chance to get to know you as a player and identify your individual strengths and weaknesses. You’ll also have the chance to tell us what you feel you need to work on and what areas of your game you’d like to improve.
From there, every session is tailored specifically to you — developing your weaknesses, building on your strengths, improving your confidence and ultimately helping you become a better, more complete player.

Outdoor sessions
The van goes out too
Not everything has to happen indoors.
We also deliver outdoor coaching sessions. All the equipment is transported directly from the WDR Centre, so wherever the session lands it’s set up with everything needed to do it properly — goals, balls, markers, the lot — rather than whatever happened to be in the boot.
Outdoor sessions run at Harborough Town Football Club, Northampton Road, Market Harborough LE16 9HF, and proudly in association with D S Ronald Builders.
