Two Companies, One Vision: Developing the Next Generation
Our Story
The New Malden Saturday Soccer School was born from a shared passion and a simple idea: to bring elite-level, professional football coaching to the grassroots level. We are a collaboration between Love The Ball and DJR Coaching, two established companies dedicated to youth development. By joining forces, we have created a truly unique offering for families in Kingston, New Malden, and the surrounding areas.
Our Coaching Philosophy
We believe in a player-centric approach. For us, the child always comes first. Our philosophy is built on four key pillars:
- Positive Reinforcement: We build confidence by celebrating effort and encouraging creativity.
- Technical Excellence: We instil strong fundamentals from a young age, using UEFA-standard drills and techniques.
- Long-Term Development: We focus on developing intelligent, well-rounded players, not just on short-term wins.
- Love for the Game: Above all, we want our players to leave every session with a smile on their face, excited for the next one.
