ALL ABOUT
PRODIGY FOOTBALL
Founded in 2022, the aim of Prodigy Football was to create opportunities for all children to enjoy different footballing experiences having come out of the COVID19 lockdowns, whilst ensuring we kept everything affordable for parents/guardians to be able to allow their children to have access to these experiences. We also created affordable services to grassroots clubs who needed support with various different services to get their clubs fully up and running again.
In 2023 a change of role for Prodigy Founder, Ryan, saw the opportunity to introduce after school clubs to the list of different services that we offered.
​
Since then Prodigy has grown year upon year to see more and more coaches join to offer even more expertise in their chosen fields, and ensuring we are creating even more opportunities & experiences outside of the footballing world.

PRACTICE
We ensure that all our practices cover the 4 corner model of Technical/Tactical, Social, Physical & Psychological. This gives children a better all round picture of the game.
​
We also know the importance of 'Ball Mastery' or to most... the basics. As children progress through the ages, the fine motor skills of ball mastery is often over looked. Those who continue to work on ball mastery often become a better all round football as they gain a better understanding of how to manipulate the ball when in different scenarios, often getting the best outcome from their decision. We always keep our foot on the ball, maximising the about of ball moving time & the amount of ball touches in sessions.
PROGRESS
Progression comes differently to each individual, and understanding they progress in different ways & different times will help with confidence.
​
Progression cannot come instantly, understanding where the player or coach is at with where they want to get to allows us at PRODIGY FOOTBALL to help take that first step towards the end goal.
Progression is a journey where even when we feel like it we have got our target we must always be ready for a different scenario where we may need to adapt.
Our sessions take players & coaches through that journey, from the basics, to performing, consistently performing, performing under pressure, performing in a game.
​
No matter how big or small, progression is progression and that our aim with every player & coach we work with.
PERFORM
After putting in all the practice, there is no better feeling in performing; but performing it effectively can be a whole different matter. Continuous practice & fine tuning helps keep improving the performance and creating different scenarios helps players perform under different pressures and in different ways.
