New Forest Football Academy

A friend of mine recommended New Forest Football Academy as I wanted some additional coaching for my son. I took him along to a Saturday Soccer School session and it was apparent to me from there it was a great fit for Ben. He was invited along to a trial for the High Performance Centre where he was given good feedback on the session & how he performed. The training itself is excellent, focusing on development of an individual and being masters with the ball. Some of the tricks Ben can do in such a short space of time working with Niall blow my mind, he listens and picks them up really well. The kids are encouraged to try things in small sided games, be brave and confident and learn from mistakes (eg players are not called out in front of everyone for mistakes, they are talked to quietly and this works so much better for younger kids). I look forward to seeing how Ben progresses with New Forest under the great coaches Jamie, Niall, & Jack.

My son Seb went to NFFA for a couple of months and both he and I loved every minute of it. We had a really tough decision to make not continuing on into their high performance training sessions due to the distance away / travelling on a school night. Seb was so upset when we had to say we couldn't do it and ooking back I wish we had continued, the training sessions were very good focusing on different elements of football as well as tricks and skills. The skills taught were actually usable in a game and not just for YouTube. Jamie and the team are extremely professional and motivated, and were excellent at giving the children the confidence to express themselves without fear of failure. I fully recommend NFFA to anyone looking for child football training at any skill level. You won't be Disappointed

Very high level of Football. I used to play in the Academy and played against AFC Bournemouth, Eastleigh and was also put forward for AFC Bournemouth Academy trials. I liked the fact I had the same Coach throughout the 4 years. I also did the Football Camps when I was younger, which I loved!

Very enjoyable. Really would recommend them to everyone. All of the coaches are welcoming, kind and friendly. The evening sessions were enjoyable and well planned. Finally I was impressed with the talent of the players. Keep it up.
