Player-Centred Approach

Sessions are built around the individual, promoting ownership, reflection and creative thinking. Pins supports players on and off the pitch, building confidence, teamwork and self-belief. My primary objective is to support 'you' the individual. I am here to 'listen to understand'

More Than Just Training

We offer a range of training programs tailored for players of all ages and skill levels. Our sessions focus on mind, technique, strategy, and physical conditioning to ensure holistic development. We do not just train players, we build football thinkers! We teach roles, responsibilities and interdependence. We support players to think creatively. Football is not just obedience but interpretation, reflective learning and constant development. We encourage questioning, ownership and self-analysis.

School Years 3 & 4

Street Football Years 3 & 4

Our Street Football sessions are designed for children in Year 3 and Year 4 (ages 7-9) and focus on pure play - no drills, no pressure, just football.

Playing in small-sided street-style games gives children more touches on the ball, helping them naturally improve balance, coordination and ball control. Tight spaces encourage dribbling, turning and 1v1 confidence, while children learn to make their own decisions rather than being constantly instructed.

Street football also supports confidence and creativity. Children are encouraged to try skills, make mistakes and try again in a fun, supportive environment. This builds resilience, self-belief and a real love for the game.

Most importantly, sessions feel like play, not training - keeping football fun, social and engaging, which is key at this age.

More touches. More confidence. More fun.

School Years 5 & 6

Street Football Years 5&6

Our Street Football sessions for Year 5 and Year 6 focus on pure football - no drills, no lines, just games.

Players turn up and play in street-style matches designed to keep them active, challenged and engaged for the full session.

Playing in tight spaces gives children more touches on the ball and encourages confident 1v1 play, dribbling and quick decision-making. With less adult instruction, players learn to solve problems themselves, building game understanding naturally.

Street football also develops confidence, resilience and creativity. Players are encouraged to try skills, play with freedom and learn from mistakes in a competitive but supportive environment.

Sessions are fast-paced, fun and challenging ideal for this age group as players prepare for the next stage of their football journey, while still keeping the game enjoyable.

More touches. More decisions. More confidence.

School Years 7 & 8

Street Football Years 7 & 8

Our Street Football sessions for Year 7 and Year 8 provide a fast-paced, game-focused environment where players simply turn up and play. Sessions are built around street-style games with no drills, keeping players active and involved throughout.

Playing in tight spaces increases ball contact, 1v1 confidence and quick decision-making under pressure. With limited stoppages and minimal instruction, players are encouraged to take responsibility, express themselves and solve problems independently -key skills at this stage of development.

Street football also supports confidence, resilience and game intelligence. Players are challenged in competitive but supportive games that reward bravery, creativity and effort, helping them develop both technically and mentally while still enjoying the game.

These sessions are ideal for players who want to improve through play, build confidence in match situations and keep their love for football strong.

More intensity. More responsibility. More freedom.

Our son had his first group session with Charlie today, he absolutely loved it. Charlie was amazing with the kids and the attention to detail was great and the encouragement was spot on. We will be booking another session next week.
