Performance groups

Game situations, coached as individuals.

In performance groups, players face the competition that only comes from playing alongside and against others, and the coaching still looks at each of them on their own.

It is where football IQ gets worked on: problem solving situations on the pitch, at full size.

What to expect from your session

Tap to open

Bigger numbers and real competition, and still coached as individuals.

Performance groups run for an hour and a half on the 3G at Poltonhall.

Groups of 6 or more are booked as 5 week blocks, so a group trains together week after week.

Groups run on Tuesdays and Fridays with Jonathan. Sundays are ad hoc. See the full week

Who these sessions are for

Players who want to play alongside and against others, with decisions to make in real time.

Football IQ, problem solving situations on the pitch, is one of the four things in the player JB sets out to build, alongside technical proficiency, freedom and creativity.

Come with a group, or join one. Boys and girls, all ages and stages.

Finishing at Poltonhall

Real competition. Real decisions.

In their words
“She takes on board your coaching on breaking lines, getting in to good positions and positive brave first touches. We have noticed a real improvement and she now often carries the ball forward before making attacking passes.”
Parent
“We have seen a significant improvement in [her] understanding of the game, as well as a real growth in her confidence and resilience.”
Parent
“Johnny creates an environment for all his players to learn, challenge themselves and try new things, and always keeps it different and fun. If they are willing to learn, you can't get a better coach to help take your child to that next level.”
