R9 Sports Coaching

My son has been training with Ricky for over 12 months now and I have no hesitation in recommending Ricky to anyone. His work in coaching is extremely professional and he's helped my son move on to the next level. His years of experience as a Southampton academy coach really shines through. Anthony

I have known Ricky for the last 9 years. He was my coach at Southampton FC for 3 years. His experience and coaching of the game was exceptional. I had three fantastic years playing under Rickys mentorship and coaching. Ricky was a big part of my successful pathway to becoming a full-time scholar and then onto being offered and becoming a professional footballer player. The seasons I played under Ricky was u8 development centres, then the academy in U11 U12s where we had some fantastic memories, with the highlight for me was that we only lost one game in a whole season which is a fantastic achievement in a premier league Cat 1 academy. Also winning numerous tournaments along the way. I would like to personally thank Ricky for all his help so far through my footballing journey. Aston Daley,

We approached R9 about running a "football party" for my son and his friends months ago. The booking and organising process was stressfree and seamless. Conan kept in contact and made sure every detail was covered. He was flexible with timings, dates and location which took a lot of pressure off busy schedules! The party was today and Conan was absolutely brilliant. He arrived early to allow proper set up - very professional. He kept the kids entertained and happy practicing skills with relay races and then organising a world cup competition. He provided the kids with constant interaction and positive feedback throughout the session. My son and his friends all received a big bag of sweets and a named certificate. They also took the time to order a special football trophy to present as a birthday treat for my son - it made him feel very special and he was over the moon with it. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future!! The whole party was relaxed and well organised. Thanks Conan.
