The 1 to 1 coaching sessions are designed to raise the players' standard of play, irrespective of what level the player is at.

The aim might be to get a recreational player to become better at using their weaker foot, or the aim might be to prepare a county or League of Ireland player to be successful in an upcoming scholarship trial or international trial. 

The 1-to-1 training session can easily become a 2-to-1 or even a 3-to-1 training session, once the Football Academy of Ireland have been notified prior to the session commencing, to allow preparation time. 

Its important to note that the Football Academy of Ireland does not have a 'magic wand' and can not create professional or international players after one session.

Please realise it takes time for development to occur, so patience is definitely needed. Sessions can be booked in weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
