Our philosophy

At PCFC we want our players to play with limitless freedom so we embrace the Total football philosophy of teams such as Barcelona, Ajax and Manchester City. Total Football is a method that requires confidence and skill. It's about combining various abilities into a unified way of playing, regardless of your position on the field. Whether you're a defender, midfielder, or forward, you must be able to pass, dribble, and shoot with precision. By mastering these skills and collaborating as individuals, you can create a smooth dynamic style of play that is both thrilling and effective. Every child wants to play like a football superstar, at PCFC we give them the freedom to do it!

THE FOUNDATION

Our primary focus when coaching any child is to ensure they are having fun, making friends and building positive foundations. The FA's four corner model and England DNA gives all our coaches the principles to build progressive practices based upon clear topics.  Our coaches will monitor your child to maximise not only their football development but also building their confidence, positive mindset and resilience. We want our players  to take on new challenges both on and off the pitch with belief that they can achieve success.

ONE V ONE BATTLES

The best players in the world, Messi, Ronaldo are exceptional at winning 1v1 battles. By beating their opponent they create space for others and is why they are so valuable to their teams.  At PCFC we see this ability as of primary importance so in each session we give players multiple exposure to 1v1 battles, adding new skills, new scenarios and confidence to be positive. The above diagram shows how important 1v1 to building a TOTAL footballer with all the key fundamental skills being challenged. 

SMALL SIDED GAMES

Football is a fast, dynamic game. At PCFC we priorities small side games (3v3, 4v4, 5v5) in every session to challenge your child's skills and get them fired up to play quickly. The fast transitions from defence to attack in small games mean players have to be highly skilled, mentally aware, physically fit to play all over the pitch.... TOTAL FOOTBALL!

WHY PLAY INSIDE?

Across Europe indoor football or FUTSAL is the foundation for many children's early football development. Using a heavier ball, means it stays in play longer leading to more touches per session, as a result children develop precise ball control, quality technical skills, physical agility, lighting reflexes and higher decision making. Plus it is dry and warm!!!!!!

MIXED AGE GROUPS​

The best players in the world learnt on the streets or in the local park with other kids as part of a football community. Playing across age groups exposes player's to those with higher ability, greater physical strength and playing experience. At PCFC we want this "band of brothers/sisters" mentality, so children can find their limits and push beyond them. Early positive exposure to better players allows children to learn quickly and the older children become role models with positive standards to adhere to.
