The coaching

Detail, honesty,
repetition

Dave's sessions are planned, not improvised. Every one follows a theme and builds through it — a warm-up that prepares you properly, practices that put the focus to work, and small-sided play where it all gets tested at real speed.

Expect honest feedback and high standards. Dave tells you what's working, what isn't and exactly how to fix it — the same way he coaches in the professional game. You leave every session knowing what to work on next.

Why Dave Rimmer Coaching

The gap after youth football

Dave has seen it again and again: once players move on from youth football or leave an academy, high-quality coaching all but disappears. Plenty of players still want to get better — they just need coaching that respects their level and fits around work, study and club commitments. Dave Rimmer Coaching exists to fill that gap.
