Youth Development phases

At LR Catalyst Coaching & Mentoring, we focus on specific development phases designed to nurture young footballers, enhancing their skills and tactical understanding. Our unique approach ensures each player reaches their full potential through tailored coaching and mentoring.

Funkicks 5-11yrs: 

Children in primary school will further refine their FUNdamental Movement Skills (FMS), including Agility, Balance, Coordination & Speed. This stage focuses on mastering the brilliant basics, with a strong emphasis on individual possession skills through 1-2-1 Coaching & Small Group Sessions. Towards the end of the phase, players will be supported around their unique characteristics of the player that they will eventually become.

Precision Kicks 12-16yrs:

As players transition to secondary school, they enter the Precision Kicks phase. Position-Specific Coaching sessions are tailored to refine the skills and tactical understanding required for their specific roles within a team unit. This again is delivered through 1-2-1 Coaching Sessions and Small Group Sessions

Unique approach

Lee believes that his coaching pathway, combined with the team environment, accelerates player development. Unlike traditional coaching methods that offer a 'one size fits all' approach, LR Catalyst’s system focuses on individual growth. We tailor our sessions to meet the specific needs of each player, maximising their potential and ensuring a comprehensive development journey.
