What this is

Extra coaching,
built around you.

✓ This is for

  • Players at every level, from grassroots to JPL private academies and professional club youth setups.
  • Ambitious players chasing academy trials, representative football or their next level up.
  • Anyone who wants individual attention on technique, decision making and match intelligence.
  • Players who want to be pushed in a high intensity, high standard environment.
  • Small groups and one to one work where every player gets seen, corrected and developed.

✕ This isn't

  • A replacement for your club or academy football. That season comes first, this sits alongside it.
  • A generic holiday camp or a session where players just turn up and play.
  • Coaching without a plan. Every session is built with player development in mind.
  • Suitable for players who aren't ready to be coached hard and challenged on detail.
  • A one size fits all program. Age groups, ability and goals shape every session.

Craig Bentham

Craig is a former professional footballer at Bradford City FC and a qualified coach who has built Twenty-Five Coaching around one idea: the players who make it aren't just the most talented, they're the ones who master the details nobody else bothers with.

Every session is built to find those details, whether that's a first touch, a body shape, a decision half a second earlier, and turn them into habits. It's personalised, it's demanding, and it's designed to sit alongside your club or academy football, not replace it, whatever level you're playing at.

Players also get the chance to test themselves in showcase matches against local private academies and professional club sides, a real measure of where their game is at.
