Who Player One Is For

Built For Players Who’re Already Pushing.

01

ALREADY IN A PRO ACADEMY

Already inside a professional academy and looking for extra high-level work alongside it, against players who will test them.

02

BEING SCOUTED

Being watched by clubs, and wanting to be sharper and more confident on the ball before the next trial comes round.

03

SERIOUS ABOUT PROGRESSION

Playing grassroots football with a clear ambition to go further, and ready to train somewhere the standard is higher than they are used to.

04

COACHABLE UNDER PRESSURE

Coachable under pressure — takes feedback, works at what they are told to work at, and does not drop their head when a session is hard.

If that sounds like your child, Player One is worth the conversation.

What Makes Player One Different

Premium Coaching. Outcome-Led Sessions.

INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS

Every player has a written development plan — strengths, priorities, and what this block of sessions is working on. Players own it, parents see it, and sessions are planned against it. Improvement here is deliberate, not accidental.

VIDEO ANALYSIS

Session and match clips are reviewed with players so they see what the coach sees. At this level, understanding why matters as much as repeating what — that's what turns a good player into an intelligent one.

POSITION-SPECIFIC WORK

Alongside the group work, players train the demands of their position — the movements, pictures and decisions their role actually asks of them on a Saturday.

NO ADDED FLUFF

No certificates, no gimmicks, no filler drills. Ninety minutes of planned, demanding coaching with players who can all handle the ball — because at this level, the environment is the product.

I don't want to produce players who all play the same way. I want to give them the technical ability, confidence and understanding to make their own decisions when the game puts a problem in front of them.

The Way In

Start At Kirby Muxloe

Player One starts with being seen. Book a free session at Kirby Muxloe — tell us your child's date of birth and we'll put them in the right group. Train well, week after week, and the coaches will notice. If they're a fit for Player One, we'll raise it with you after they've watched them play. Nothing is bought here — every place is earned.

Who is coming?

Some groups are boys-only or girls-only.

Common Questions

Player One, Answered.

Player One is invitation only, and you cannot book directly into it. Every player must first come through our Kirby Muxloe centre — from there, players who show the right level, attitude and potential can be invited in. It is not a judgement made from a form, and it is not permanent either way: it is a decision about what a player needs right now.
