Ben has a passion for teaching Futsal, Skills and passing expressive football to children and believes every child should spend at least 30 minutes a session with a ball at their feet exploring different ways to move with the ball and take players on. Ben’s strengths are motivating and squeezing 100% effort out of every child in a session and always re - enforces a fun and positive environment.

Ben also works closely alongside his young team of coaches ensuring they teach they “BB Way” and he only selects coaches that have the same pride, positive attitude and passion for teaching football.

“I believe every child has the right to play football in a stress-free environment in which they can learn and are encourage to try skills and tricks on the ball. At BB Soccer we are all about football development and not results. Ive never been interested in results but more about do our players know how to play football on the floor and have an array of skills. Every player in our teams after 6 months of being taught by us will have complete mastery of the ball”

Ben supports Charlton FC and his favourite Charlton player was Scott Parker. He supports them after being taken to the Valley as a child by his grandad aged 8. “Were never going to win anything major but that’s what i love about being a Charlton Fan, just got to enjoy the small highs when we get them ”

Head Coach

Dan has recently joined BB Soccer but has spent the last 13 years coaching football where he has developed his fun and engaging coaching style. He believes that if a child is enjoying the session, then they will be taking in much more information, which is why he can often be seen laughing and joking with the players at training and sessions.

Dan understands that each child has different ways of learning which is why he will explain the different games before demonstrating these too. He likes to give the children lots of opportunities to solve challenges and problems in different ways, preferring to offer advise than definite answers.

Dan supports West Ham and is still trying to get used to the idea that they might actually be a good team! He’s used to being stuck as a mid table team at best and is very much enjoying watching them in Europe this season!

Lead Coach

My names Daniel and as a former young aspiring footballer I will always remember my first football coach, he helped me develop and improve and go on to have loads of different opportunities in football by creating fun and engaging sessions that focused on personal development.

I’d love to give this same opportunity to young footballers that my former coach gave me, and this is what inspires me to come up with creative and effective sessions for individuals development’

Lead Coach

My names Elliot and I am new to the BB team. I have loved my start as I get to see young players expressing their skills and abilities whilst gaining confidence and making friends on the way.

I most enjoy teaching dribbling drills as it is important that young players are confident with the ball at the feet and have quality ball control to maintain possession and give the player more time to make the correct decision.

I have been a Crystal Palace season ticket holder since I was 8 and have travelled across the country supporting my team. My favourite player was Mile Jedinak as he was a true leader on the pitch.

He works as a head coach at numerous schools, nurseries and at half term camps delivering fun and engaging football sessions to children. He also works alongside Ben at the football club by being head coach of numerous teams within the football club ranging from U7-U14.

Liam loves teaching sessions that involve defending and possession. This is because he believes that football is so much more important than scoring goals and being the hero. “I love teaching sessions that increase players confidence on the ball.”

“I love working at BB Soccer because there isn’t a more rewarding feeling than seeing people enjoy and engage with your sessions, it gives me the motivation to keep creating new sessions and it makes me passionate about what I do.”

Liam has supported Crystal Palace all his life, and his favourite player is Christian Benteke. This is because may not be the best player on the team, but his willingness to never stop trying even when results may not go his way makes him stand out for me.

Head Coach

Coach Bailey is FA level one trained and has worked for BB soccer for about a year. Bailey teaches at in our after schools club programme and coaches teams in our football club BBFC evening classes where he coaches the Sharks in 2 age groups.

I love coaching shooting drills because I like seeing improvement of people’s finishing. As well as skills and technical based drills to enhance children's confidence on the ball going into matches.

My favourite team is Crystal Palace and favourite player is Ebere Eze because he is very skilful and isn’t afraid to take a player on.
