About US
Technique wins touches. Mindset wins games. Everything we coach is built on the belief that the mental side of football — discipline, composure, and the will to keep improving — matters as much as the ball at your feet.

Two ways to train,
built around your family
At The Proper Player, we offer both group classes and one-on-one training to suit the needs of every child.

Group classes
Held on Saturday and Sunday mornings, group sessions bring kids together to build skills alongside teammates in a fun, structured environment.

We believe that soccer is more than just a sport – it’s a way to develop important life skills like teamwork, discipline, and determination. That’s why our coaching methods focus on more than just technical ability.
