These 1-2-1 and 2-2-1 football sessions are tailored to the player’s individual needs and goals to give them the best chance to achieve and progress. These sessions are about learning but also about having fun in a safe and relaxed environment to get the best out of your child in preparation for matches.

1:1 Personalised Session

Koby Hurren

Dale is so good with Koby and he absolutely loves it. His confidence is getting so much better. Thank you ☺️

Christina Nickerson

My boy has been going to Dale for a few months now and absolutely love it, Dale is very chilled and patience. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Xander Chaston

My son has autism and anxiety.  He has had over the summer, one session a week on a 1:1 basis. Dale right from the start has been friendly and supportive which immediately made my son feel relaxed. He has really enjoyed his lessons and developed existing skills and learnt new ones. Confidence has increased a lot which is fantastic. 
Highly Recommend Dale Smiths Soccer School😊

Hannah Clark

Lucas really enjoys Dale's 1:1 goalkeeper sessions, he is learning so much and Dale always makes it fun!

Lottie Mae Smith

Lottie had a great session. She loved the fact it was constant football and different things suited to her ability. . He praised her all the time. She can’t wait for her next session! 

Rory Gook

My child had a one off session with Dale and he had a thoroughly enjoyable time. 

What I thought was really impressive was that upon observation prior to starting, Dale was able to identify the ability and development points and catered the session towards them, as opposed to a standard ‘session’ for a one off. 

Overhearing the coaching points, it was clear he was knowledgeable and clearly effective in his instructions, as you could see a difference each time they went through the drill with improvements within my child’s practice. 

Kelly Smith

My daughter Lottie has loved every minute of her sessions with Dale. He keeps her going the whole session. Lottie loves it and can’t wait till her next session! 

Esmae Allen

My daughter Esmae has been with Dale for over a year now. She loves the sessions with him. She started when she was quite new to football and her technique and overall game has improved massively. 100% would recommend Dale to anyone thinking about getting coaching for their kids. 

Emma Cruickshank 

We think Dale is a really good coach, he helps us improve with our dribbling, passing, shooting, footwork and fitness. We’d definitely recommend him. From Aubrey and Leo :)

Linda Hook

Dale was amazing at giving the young person I brought to his 1:1 session confidence and belief in himself.  In just the first session, he was able to build on their skills and help them progress. 
Dale is highly professional and it is obvious he has a wealth of  knowledge and experience with working with young people who have a range of skills and needs. Highly recommended.

Hlib Bartiev

Luca Charlie Ingles

Dales group was the first football group my son had gone to (he’s 3) and I really wasn’t sure how it would go! There was no pressure for him to join in and Dale took a really relaxed approach which really worked for Luca! Resulting in him being really involved and enjoying himself! Can’t wait to book on for the next term!

Dale Smith’s Soccer School

My name is Dale Smith and have been coaching within football for the past 12 years with the age range from 18 months up to adult football. I truly believe that football is for everyone regardless of ability and the facilities and opportunities need to be available without making parents/children feel that the child isn't good enough to participate. Football is firstly about having fun, building character, relationships, friends and having the opportunity to develop in a safe and fun environment.
I have played football since i was young, playing with many different abilities. I was lucky enough to be involved in tours with Norwich City FC youth teams,  Lowestoft town FC and the brilliant team that reached the FA Vase Final and also for my County team (Suffolk) of which i had many successful campaigns.
I am a UEFA C qualified coach who has an up to date CRB check who is passionate about offering my knowledge and skills to young children to help them feel confident about themselves and their ability.

Dale Smith Soccer School began in 2022 firstly only offering 1:1 sessions. Since then the business has grown and now we host group sessions, football camps, Birthday Parties which has the option of an inflatable football pitch and Personalised 1:1/2:1 sessions.
