The Individuals that set UK Football Camp apart from other camps...



UK Football Camps provide a player to coach ratio which is better than that required by the FA. This is to ensure that your child receives the best possible group coaching experience with a one-to-one feel.

The Senior Coaches hand pick coaching teams directly from a list of FA registered coaches and ensure that they are all:
  • FA qualified to the required level
  • Up to date CRB/DBS checked
  • FA First Aid certificated
  • Specialised in chosen age group
All our coaches must also hold the necessary skills to provide the very best modern coaching techniques and be able to implement the structured UK Football Camps syllabus to the highest of standards. As well as being great coaches, it's of equal importance that they can implement a lot of fun to the program.

Coach (Pre-School & Reception)


For his age, Sam is a very experienced coach. He specialises in pre-school and reception age groups and his FA based coaching sessions are very much fun orientated. His Superhero themed sessions are particularly popular with the younger age groups – although I think they’re mainly for his own entertainment! Having represented his school football teams throughout the year groups, Sam continues to play football for a local team at weekends. He also competes in district competitions for athletics. Sam started coaching from the age of 11 where he spent 4 years as an assistant coach on a Saturday morning.

He works full time as a sports coach in local schools and enjoys helping youngsters develop new skills whilst having as much fun as possible. Although he’s an extremely reliable coach, don’t ask him to tap a ball in from 2 yards out to win an FA Cup game for you!

He moved to Heybridge Swifts where he helped them win the league title twice.

A great professional coach who is taking on the years 4-5. Just don’t expect him to smile too much!

Officially the biggest hands in the UKFC team, Harrison was made to be a goalkeeper! He started out as a helper at our camps in 2017 and UKFC helped him through his FA Level 1 qualification.

He plays at a good standard with Witham Town and is currently studying Professional Sports Coaching at Chelmsford college. UKFC is certainly in safe hands with Harrison on the team!

Qualifications:

Bradley Pitchers

Coach (Pre-school & Reception)


Although Brad holds a diploma in professional cookery, his main passion and hobby is football! Brad joined the UKFC team in 2016 as a helper and quickly elevated himself to leader of the work experience team at camp. He’s been a regular at camp and hates missing an opportunity to help youngsters develop their skills. Energetic and bubbly, Brad is one of the most asked for coaches. His fun coaching methods, combined with structured session plans are a recipe for success and a lot of young players have developed their football ability under his guidance.

Qualifications:

Elliott Jarvis

Coach (Year 1)


Having joined the team in October 2019, Elliott finds himself a regular part of the half-term and school holiday camps along with UKFC academy coaching team. He helps the coaching team by setting up sessions on his own initiative and focuses on 1-2-1 help with young players who may struggle to perfect a certain skill. UKFC put him on his FA Level 1 as he will certainly be a valuable part of UKFC’s future plans for both the camps as well as the academy. He plays football locally at weekends and is also a keen tennis ace and even enjoys the occasional round of golf. The younger brother of coach Jack, Elliott has had a great head start in coaching experience and is certainly one with a bright future at UKFC.

Qualifications:

Tommy Sewell

Coach (Pre-school & Reception)


Tommy was an ever present at UKFC’s camps and used to help the younger age groups with their skills whenever he attended. It was a natural progression for him to jump onboard and become not only a qualified referee, but also an FA Level 1 coach. He is a great role model for the groups he takes and the fun and encouragement he brings is a massive plus for the club. When Tommy isn’t coaching, he enjoys fishing - well there’s still a net of some sort involved! A good future at UKFC awaits this young coach!

Qualifications:

Robbie

Assistant Coach


We fast tracked Robbie into his FA Level 1 as we felt he was ready! He has a great report with the kids he works with and is always encouraging them to improve. His other passion is drama and this is evident to see whilst he coaches – which is actually a great attribute in showing different methods of coaching. We look forward to seeing his coaching develop under the guidance of UKFC.

Qualifications:

Joseph

Assistant Coach


Joe joined UKFC and quickly became one of the most popular helpers on the team. The kids listen to him and want to be like him, which makes him a great role UKFC role model. He captains his club and school teams and his leadership skills are clear to see at camp and whilst helping each week at the academy. Joe enjoys all competitive sport and was awarded a ‘Special Achievement’ award for PE at Becket Keys, where he studied GCSE’S. It’s a shame he’s not old enough to obtain his FA Level 1 yet, but certainly one to watch for the future of UKFC!

Callum

Assistant Coach


Callum started with the UKFC camps team and is a highly respected assistant coach by all of us at UKFC. His professionalism and organisation skills really get the attention of the kids he helps and he’s a great role model to follow. Callum always acts on his own initiative without having to ask - as he’s already done it already! It’s just a shame his number one sport is Basketball and not football!
