How We Train

We deliver professional coaching built around 3 key pillars

Technical Excellence

Every session focuses on developing the fundamentals — first touch, ball mastery, passing, receiving, shooting and 1v1 ability.

Football IQ & Decision Making

We teach players how to think quicker, make better decisions under pressure, and apply their skills in real game scenarios.

Physical Development

We focus on speed, agility, balance and coordination to help every player move and perform like an elite footballer.

Our Training Sessions

What Our Clients Say

A big thank you to Francis and Okem for all the hard work and care you put into coaching. My son Aiden has improved so much-not just in football, but also in confidence and teamwork. Liam is always excited to come to training, and the way you inspire the players to enjoy the game is amazing. We are so lucky to have you as coaches!

— Nidia Chapman

My boys look forward to their weekly coaching sessions with Okem and Francis. They have made friends at the training too. The sessions have been great for focusing on individual skills, confidence and strengths. Okem and Francis are a good team, have built up a good rapport with those that they train and always explain what to do in a session with smiles on their faces."

— Julie Walsh

I would definitely recommend CM Performance to any parent who would like to take their child to a football coaching school that not only teaches them the technical side of the game but also how to be a team player and improve their agility. I saw drastic improvements in my son's technical skills in the space of a few sessions. Coach Okem and coach Francis both have years of experience and are very polite and encouraging to the kids.

— Fuzzy Khan

My son has been having sessions with CM Performance for the past couple of months and he absolutely loves it. Every session is different and comes out sweaty, buzzing and looking forward to the next one. The coaches are brilliant and bring the best out of the kids. The sessions definitely sharpened his skills and fitness. I highly recommend CM Performance!
