About Shoot Football Academy - Soccer Skills Training

Shoot Football Academy was founded by ex-professional footballer Steve Veitch - whose football career at Preston North End was ended by injury.

Steve has used his own professional football experience and after learning from some great footballers, managers and coaches developed a football coaching programme for children.

Over the last 5 years Steve's son, Benn, has attended four Premier League academies and two local academies, which has prepared Steve to improve on the soccer coaching methods he already has. Steve has adapted their best coaching techniques and with his own ideas and expertise created what he feels is the best soccer skills training academy in the area.

Benn's experience enables him to help with the coaching as all the children look up to him - this helps them relax and listen a little more as Benn does all the demonstrating as Steve explains the exercise to the children. Again, this is a little different from other academies but already this is proving to be a huge success as parents always comment positively on his presence.

Steve and his staff take pride in the management of Shoot Football Academy and are always working on how to improve their football coaching techniques to get the full potential out of your children.

Steve's aim is to have the best football skills training and coaching methods and to ensure the football academy continues to be a success.
