Too many kids fall out of love with football due to pressure, inadequate football coaching, and chaotic sidelines. Parents invest thousands in pursuit of 'elite' training, only to see their child lose confidence, freeze on game day, or experience burnout.
StandOut Football exists to change that.
We focus on more than just skill; we emphasize confidence building and nurturing resilient teammates, creating standout individuals. Through enjoyable, high intensity training and personalised attention in small groups, we unlock each child’s full potential both on and off the pitch.
This isn’t just training; this is how kids rediscover the joy of the game and themselves.

"My son has really enjoyed his sessions with Coach Simon. He loves that Simon gives him real, game like scenarios to work through, which makes the training feel meaningful. He also really likes how Simon explains things, he breaks down drills in a way that’s easy to understand and helps him fix his technique and form.
The sessions are tough, but in a good way. Simon makes sure he works hard, and my son always leaves feeling like he’s improved. On top of that, Simon is friendly, easy to talk to, and someone my son can relate to.
From my point of view, the sessions are always organised and well planned. Simon is genuinely caring and clearly wants to make a positive difference in my son’s game. He gives solid advice and really seems invested in helping him grow.
Overall, we’re really happy with the training and the progress my son’s making with Simon."

"Working with Simon has been one of the best experiences of my football journey. He pushes you to be better every session, not just with skills but with mindset and discipline. His training is intense, detailed, and always purposeful, you know you’re improving every time you step on the pitch.
He understands the game on a deeper level and knows exactly how to bring out the best in his players. Whether it’s building confidence, sharpening technique, or improving game IQ.
Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his players. He celebrates your wins, helps you learn from your mistakes, and holds you to a high standard because he believes in you.
I’m a stronger, smarter, and more confident player because of him. Couldn’t ask for a better coach.
