Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from parents about our football training sessions.

What should my child bring to training?

Your child should wear comfortable sports clothing, football boots or trainers, and bring a water bottle. We provide all training equipment including footballs, cones, and goals.

What happens if it rains?

We train in all weather conditions unless it's unsafe. Football is an outdoor sport, so we encourage children to dress appropriately. In extreme weather, we'll contact parents to reschedule.

Can I watch my child's training?

Parents are welcome to watch from a distance, but we encourage children to focus on the session. Our coaches are experienced in managing young players and ensuring they stay engaged.

How do I book sessions?

Simply register for a parent account on our website, add your child's details, and you can book sessions through our easy-to-use booking system. You'll receive confirmation emails and can manage bookings through your dashboard.

What if my child has never played football before?

No problem! Our sessions are designed for all abilities. We focus on building confidence and basic skills in a fun, supportive environment. Many of our players start with no previous experience.

Are your coaches qualified and insured?

Yes, all our coaches are UEFA qualified, DBS checked, and fully insured. We maintain the highest standards of safety and professionalism in all our training sessions.

What Parents Say

"I took my little boy to the tots session today for the first time and cannot recommend Dest Football Coaching enough. We have tried various different tots football sessions and the coaches can’t seem the keep the little ones engaged but that was not the case today. From the moment we arrived Maddox received a friendly welcome and was made to feel part of the team instantly! When asked if he’d like to come to the session again he said he wants to go everyday. 5* coaching, thank you!"

"My kids have had a fantastic time today at the summer camp….they came out on a high and it’s really boosted their confidence! They have asked if they can go as many times as possible in the summer holidays! They have made friends, had tons of exercise and most importantly had fun!"

"My 6 year old son and 12 year old daughter both have 1-2-1 training sessions with DEST, and they absolutely love it. Each session is engaging, fun, and perfectly tailored to their individual needs. Dave does an incredible job of adapting his coaching style to suit both ages — he knows how to challenge my daughter and keeps my younger son motivated and focused. It’s not easy to keep a 6-year-old engaged for a full session, but Dave manages it brilliantly every time. I’ve noticed real progress in both of them, not just in their skills but also in their confidence. I couldn’t recommend DEST and Dave highly enough!"
