1-to-1 Football Coaches in Portslade

Private 1-to-1 football coaching in Portslade typically costs between £35 and £60 per hour. Coaches with academy or international coaching experience sit at the top of that range. Block bookings of 5 or 10 sessions almost always come with a discount — ask about it when you enquire.

Sessions typically run on 3G/4G pitches and grass parks — around Portslade that includes Victoria Recreation Ground, Vale Park and Portslade Sports Centre, plus school and club sites when the coach has an arrangement in place. Southwick and Portslade junior football clubs feed a lot of 1-to-1 demand and close enough to Hove and Shoreham that most coaches cover all three. If your player has a preferred venue, mention it in your enquiry — CoachSpot coaches list the venues they can travel to, and many will meet you at your local club or park.

Any coach working 1-to-1 with under-18s in the UK should hold an enhanced DBS check and a current safeguarding certificate. On CoachSpot both are mandatory — a coach's profile can't go live without them, and the verified badge on the profile means we've seen and reviewed the certificates directly. Ask about warm-up structure and how the coach manages contact — especially for players under 10.

• Ask which club or age group the coach has worked with — academy background matters more than a big playing CV • Check they can film short clips so parents can see progress • Confirm they'll adapt to your position and preferred foot rather than running a fixed drill set On CoachSpot you can filter by Portslade and by football, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
