Professional Development Pathway
At MC 121 Football Coaching, our Group Sessions are structured, high-quality training environments designed for players up to 14 years old. These sessions are perfect for players who want to develop their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the game in a supportive, energetic setting.
All group sessions fall under our Professional Development Pathway, following a professional club syllabus that ensures consistency, progression, and clear learning outcomes across every age group. Each week, players work on different technical and tactical themes — including ball mastery, dribbling, passing, movement, shooting, and defending — designed to challenge, engage, and inspire.
Players are grouped by age and ability so every child is working at the right level, with coaches tailoring feedback to support long-term growth. While technical development is at the core, we also emphasise teamwork, resilience, decision-making, and confidence, helping players on and off the pitch.
Led by experienced and passionate coaches, our sessions provide a clear pathway of development:
