Coaching

Soccarena provides a safe and secure venue for children’s coaching with many different sessions available nearly 7 days a week, Soccarena strives to guarantee each child enjoys joining in and always leaves with a smile on their face. Soccarena’s coaching staff have often come out of our partnership with Durham Gilesgate sports college and Sixth form centre and all have F.A qualifications, some as high as UEFA B. Soccarena has coaches that also focus only on goal keeping which is something not many other facilities provide. Details of the times and days of all of our sessions can be found below.
