About Ultimate Footballers

It all started when…

My footballing journey started when I used to watch my son playing football at a local soccer school, he was four years old at the time, but it was clear to me back then that a high standard of coaching was essential at an early age to build a strong foundation for those young players to continue on their pathway in to football.

My son is now 12 years old and he is still obsessed with football, I also have two daughters age 8 and 10 that play for their school teams.

Kids football for me is a passion, to see young kids building friendships, problem solving, keeping active, while running around with a ball at their feet is why I got into coaching and I feel privileged to be a part of it.

I currently coach the U13’s at Carshalton Athletic Football Club and have coached all ages at the Carshalton Athletic Soccer School.

The purpose of my soccer school is to teach players at an early age the technique and skills needed to progress them into local football teams.

What I Bring to the Game as a coach…

Ultimate Footballers

It is my passion to teach boys and girls the technical, tactical, social, physical and psychological elements of playing football.

My mission is to teach the game of football to kids at an early age to prepare them for moving into local football teams when they reach the ages of 6, 7 & 8 years old.

Ball mastery at a young age is crucial to player development, the ability to manipulate the ball in the early years builds a strong foundation for the child's progression through their footballing journey.

I blend the technical, tactical, social, physical and psychological elements of the game into fun, exciting training sessions that keep the children engaged.

Testimonials

Just a short note regarding coach Phil Novell endorsing his new kids football Saturday morning clubs and camps.

Phil is someone I have met initially through my role with PFL and Carshalton Athletic where I am responsible for the delivery of CPD (Continued Professional Development) events for coaches of foundation and youth age group players.

Phil is a well organised and enthusiastic coach with a real passion for helping young players develop in a fun and safe environment whilst striving to consistently improve himself as a coach.

I am happy to recommend Phil’s new concept and that it will provide the kids with an enjoyable fun-based learning experience.

Good Luck Phil
