Kirkley and Pakefield Coaching Philosophy

Our clearly defined coaching philosophy provides direction, purpose and guidance to the process of coaching young players.

We promote a holistic approach based upon the FA’s four-corner model for long-term player development, with age appropriate coaching recommendations for players aged 5-11 and 12-16.
