OUR COACHES
JOE KIRKLAND
Founder & Head Coach
After first delving into the world of Football coaching at the age of 16, Joe is both our Founding Member & Head Coach.
From volunteering at his local football soccer school in 2016, to coaching abroad and meeting some of the worlds best players in 2020.
Joe has lived briefly both in Spain & Portugal whilst indulging himself into the footballing culture of both nation’s. Spain in particular, Joe has lived there on multiple occasions both as a Teacher and football coach. During his time there, Joe studied the principles of Spanish football and watched La Liga teams very closely in a hope of combining the great English game, alongside the Tiki-Taki Spanish style of play which is ultimately now ClubFootball.
Joe is hoping to continue with his footballing experiences abroad with a three month football coaching trip to America in 2021, and a future trip to Africa.
At the forefront of Joe’s philosophy is the aim to develop people before players, he has a strong belief in 1on1 interactions and allowing players the ability to have freedom when playing football, if you can get the best out of them as people, you’ll be able to get the best out of them as people.
