The coaches at Astrella Academy of Football believe in more than just coaching Football. They teach life skills that show that talent alone won’t improve you as a player but your attitude, application and morals are what will see you achieve success.

What these coaches have done for my boy and his confidence, on and off the football pitch, is quite incredible.

The philosophy at Astrella Academy of Football is unique in that I’ve never seen such thought and detail in the coaching but also the fact they actively encourage the players to try things that many coaches wouldn’t allow.

They see the long term progression of playing under pressure more important than a score board.

Jody always puts 110% into his sessions and you can see the passion he has for the game when he delivers them.

His enthusiasm inspires players at the all level’s and has definitely improved my game both on the pitch and mentally.

I loved every session and it was like an education in playing football all over again!!! I loved his sessions with the team but also the one to one coaching we’d do together until the lights went out some nights.

Jody and his team have an expert understanding of sport, but more importantly and impressively they understand children, of all ages, abilities and needs. The entire team work tirelessly to meet the needs of pupils in the most extraordinary of circumstances and they do so with passion and pride. The impact that the Astrella team have had on my pupils has been nothing short of a miracle and I could not recommend them more.
