Professional Coaching
If you require a professional football coach to help, improve, develop and enhance your individual game and performance then look no further. The North West Football Group offer a bespoke service for players that focus on the player’s needs and requirements. We are one of the only professional football coaching services in England that pre-build and plan sessions before a player commences their training programme. North West Football offer a service that suits the player’s specific position and deliver sessions with the primary aim of improving that part of a players game.
The three different session styles we offer are 1 to 1 private professional football coaching, 2 to 1 private professional football coaching, and mini groups sessions for up to a maximum of 6 players.
Zidane Iqbal – Manchester United
The North West Football Group provide a unique 1 to 1 programme for semi professional and professional football players.
1 to 1 Private football Sessions
The majority of players who have these sessions are Central midfield players who are asked to score more goals or need to be more creative with the ball, Strikers who have to score goals for their team, Wingers who need to improve on their goal threat, and Central defenders who need to be more comfortable with the football at their feet.
Mini Group Sessions
Mini Group Sessions are an excellent session style as there is so much time for players to train with the ball at their feet. Physically the workout is excellent too as the players are given very little rest time between the sessions.
2 to 1 Private football Sessions
Players and coaches realise the importance of being outstanding in the 1v1 situation both from the attacking and the defending perspectives. 1v1 work should be in a training programme for players of all ages and abilities. Domination of the 1v1 is essential for high-level success.
Attacking Players
The North West Football Group have a fantastic session available for attacking players. If you are a player that plays in the 7, 9, 10, 11 roles and need to work on your shooting, goal scoring, and finishing, then this session delivery is perfectly suited for you. We currently have 3 International attackers that we work with on a weekly basis in which the delivery of the session is focused to them having a minimum of 250 shots on target per session with a live goalkeeper and support coach if requested by the player.
Most strikers and attackers often get in touch with us about the lack of goal scoring sessions that they have during the week. The sessions we deliver, however, focus on an individual and gives the player the genuine opportunity to score close to 100 goals per session. All sessions are delivered with mannequins, a live goalkeeper, a support coach (if requested), and focus on the player themselves. The player has 30 balls to 1 player with a fast-moving approach to the session.
- Shooting from close range
- Shooting from medium range
- 1 touch finishing
- 2 touch finishing
- Half volley practice
- Full volley practice
- Heading practice
- Combination play to finish

Testimonial Statements
“Mason has trained privately with North West Football for nearly 4 years and in that time North West Football have provided an excellent service to my son. Mason has improved as an attacking player with the sessions that have been built and designed for him.”
“Mason recently scored the winner against Real Madrid in Europe for Manchester United shortly after a double shooting session. They are always on hand to speak to with sound advice. Good coaches.”
“North West Football is a very clever service for the elite level player.”
“Owen is a contracted player at Manchester City and plays youth International football for Wales. Owen has trained with North West Football for a long time now and always enjoys the sessions that he attends.”
“Owen likes how he is the main focus of the session and can speak openly about his football and what he needs to work on. Rick is always on hand if you need him too” Owen likes going to Rick.”
“North West football group sessions are tailored made for the individual and Max has benefitted massively from this over the last 18 months. They go up and beyond what you would expect from a football coaching company. From quality coaching to the sound advice and help when required. Whenever Max is free he tends to gravitate back to see Rick for a session and a chat.”
“In August 2016 Ben Woods was the only player from his Age Group at Manchester United Football Club to be called up to the England Squad. At the time the club would not allow Ben onto their MANUSS programme? So, following a meeting with North West Football the inaugural bespoke “Magic” programme was formed. Working closely with Ben’s school the creative and innovative programme was tailored to focus on Ben’s individual needs. Ben is now a Burnley Football Club player who at Age 16 scored on his Reserve Team Debut and at Age 17 has trained with the 1st Team. This would not have happened without Rick and his team helping Ben “Believe” by not only developing his football but, also the “Inner Mental Game”. Rick’s USP is his “Can-Do Attitude” and that North West Football is his Hobby as well as a Best In Class North West Football Coaching Business for up and coming Elite Players!”
“Rick Bell is one of the best coaches I have come across in football. He has a passion to help young athletes to get to their highest level in football and that is rare! His creativity and passion in his coaching sessions is great to be part of. He is a great coach/friend to have around.”
“The former Barcelona, Liverpool and now youth professional at Blackburn Rovers football club has been doing extremely well. Zak has been training with Rick Bell privately for 2 years and in that time has enjoyed the quality football coaching service that he provides his players. Zak has benefited from the individual programme that is provided and the way in which it is delivered. An excellent coaching service. “
