The feedback has been invaluable

"I wanted to share something that's made a huge difference to my son in his football journey. For a while, he was hitting a wall. No matter how much he practiced, he just wasn't seeing the improvement he wanted. It was frustrating for him, and honestly, for me too. He loves the game but didn't know what specific areas he needed to work on. The joy was slipping away, and I knew he needed something to reignite his passion for football.

That's when we discovered the Soccer Skills Challenge. It was easy to set up with their video tutorials and setup PDF, and after uploading my son's results, we received a detailed certificate featuring professional feedback.

When we got the certificate, my son was over the moon! It wasn't just a piece of paper, it was a full breakdown of his performance, complete with a star rating. The detailed feedback showed him where he excelled and, more importantly, what he could work on to improve. It reignited his enthusiasm immediately.

Honestly, I wish I had known about this sooner. The feedback has been invaluable, it's given us clear goals and the motivation to work on specific areas."

Thanks again for indulging their love of football

"The level of detail means that my child is under no illusion about what they could do to improve. It's even inspired their dad to help out more, playing in the garden and focusing on little things like running and biking to boost performance. Thanks again for indulging their love of football and helping them become better players and better sportspeople."

What Parents And Players Are Saying

Parent - Hindley Town Bulls (u9s)

We have finished reading through the report and thank you so much for taking the time to put all the lads through. We have fed parts of it back to Arthur so he knows what he could do if he wants to improve. The level of detail means that he is under no illusion as to what he could do to build his skills. I think he dad has enjoyed it too because it has given him an indication of what they could play in the garden to help Arthur improve as well as little things like getting out on the bikes more or running. Thanks again for indulging his love of football and coaching in a way that not only makes them better players so they can enjoy playing more competitively but makes them better sportsmen.

Parent - Hindley Town Bulls (u9s)

We are really impressed with the standards of professionalism shown by yourself Brian, we find it speaks volumes in regards to your committment and relationship you are building with Charlie and the team. You don’t only highlight his best qualities on the pitch you also state what he has to work towards and how there is room for improvement meaning his training sessions will always have a purpose and and the end goal to always achieve better which I find gives charlie motivation and determination to be the best he can be. Football is more than a hobby to Charlie, it is his whole life, his complete passion and dream and with this kind of training, guidance and understanding I hope one day he will achieve his goals. We are looking forward to the next one to see how he has grown and we trust the process completely.

Parent - Hindley Town Bulls (u9s)

Troy was over the moon when he found out that he had scored too marks in the shooting challenge. This has really helped with confidence and we have seen a positive impact on both training and in matches as he now knows what he needs to work on and is very keen to do so.

Parent - Hindley Town Bulls (u9s)

The Soccer Skills Assessment was really fun! I got to practice my dribbling, passing, and shooting, and it made me feel like a real football star. It's helped me become a better player, and I can't wait for more challenges!

Ben – Hindley Town Bulls u9s player

The report is really cool! It shows all the things I can do well in football and the stuff I need to get better at. The skills challenge was fun, and I liked seeing what I’m good at and what I can practice more. The report helps my parents know how they can help me get better, and that’s awesome! I can’t wait to see my next report to see how much I’ve improved. Thanks, iSport and Brian!
