About Us
CP Soccer School was formed in March 2006 by Craig Preston. Craig was very passionate about football from a very young age and played football until injury hit at 32yrs. It was at this time that coaching became my new passion.
What was apparent then after observing several football clubs was that from young children up to their late teens, some clubs were and still are deploying the win at all costs.
Sadly, that means it’s the same children on the subs bench each week, only getting 5/10 mins playing time at the end, finally resulting in that child quitting playing the sport that they love.
Our Ethos
Our philosophy at CP Soccer School Ltd is that football is for everybody and everyone should have the same opportunity to play the beautiful game.
We provide a fun, safe and friendly environment for children of all ages and abilities to learn at their own pace. Our mixed ability sessions are designed for all children to learn new skills and enhance their development through trial and error. Children are not put under pressure to perform and are encouraged to try new techniques and taught that it’s ok to make mistakes because that’s how we
Sessions and Coaches
Our courses utilise a ten-week syllabus that all the coaches use, this allows each coach to deliver creative sessions in passing, dribbling, shooting, goalkeeping, turning etc. All of our sessions allow for one ball per child, our weekly topics enable the children to have hundreds of touches of the ball to aid their confidence in being comfortable with a ball at their feet.
All of our staff follow the FA learning pathway and are qualified, our younger coaches start with us by completing the FA Playmaker courses. All staff are then provided training in Safeguarding, Basic First Aid and also complete an Enhanced DBS check.
