One to One Coaching After five sessions

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before
you begin.

Coaching should fit the player and her week. Talk to us about confidence, goals or anything that would help her feel comfortable.

Your first STAR session: what to expect →

Our approach to inclusion →
Is STAR suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. STAR coaches girls of all abilities. We discuss her age, experience and confidence to agree a suitable starting point.

Do we have to decide on a programme first?

No. You can enquire without choosing one. We listen to the player and talk through the options together.

Can coaching fit around club football and school?

Group sessions have set times. Individual sessions are arranged with STAR, taking availability, existing football and the player’s wider week into account.

Do I need an account to enquire?

No. You can contact STAR straight away. All programme prices and payment options are public; registering a player is a separate step.

LET’S TALK ABOUT HER FOOTBALL

A starting point.
Chosen together.

Tell us what the player enjoys, what she wants to improve and what would make coaching work for her. We’ll discuss suitability, availability and the next step.

An enquiry does not confirm a place or commit you to payment.
