Lafferty's Coaching is run by Mike Lafferty, an FA-qualified coach based in Rugby. Mike started coaching because he believes every child deserves a positive introduction to football, one where they're encouraged to try their best, have fun and show respect to everyone around them.
Sessions are well organised, engaging and focused on developing technical skills alongside confidence. Whether it's a 1-2-1 or a group, Mike tailors the coaching to the players in front of him so that every child leaves having learned something and enjoyed themselves.
Outdoors at Clifton Playing Fields through the summer, and indoors at Rugby College over the winter months so sessions keep going whatever the weather.
Thank you to all the parents for your support.
Mike, honestly, Jackson's confidence and skill level today was beautiful to watch! You have had such an impact on him, so a big thank you from me and Gary. Dragons won 8-3 and he scored 2 (and looked up both times!)
Gemma Parent · 1-2-1 sessionsMike has been an outstanding coach for my son. His sessions are always well organised, engaging, and focused on developing both technical skills and confidence. The 1-to-1 sessions have been especially valuable. Mike tailors each session to my son's needs and helps him improve every week. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
