Football Development

Our Mission

NE Coaching Co was launched because after years coaching a high number of kids across the North East, we felt that the more advanced players needed something else to attend to really challenge them against other strong players.
 
Our goal is to develop young, talented players to the next level of their football journey by giving them detailed technical and tactical training.

‘Andrew and Ben are quite outstanding coaches. We cannot praise them enough for their ability to bring the best out of both our son and daughter who have attended the development and advanced development groups. 

They are so engaged with the children they coach and whilst developing the children’s skills and techniques to a very high level, at the same time, they clearly understand the importance of strong relationships and making sure everyone is having fun. 

We feel very fortunate to have such wonderful role models encouraging and motivating both our children to play and progress at football – huge thanks to both of you.’
