Players train with UK full-time academy coaches and a local team committed to high standards and player growth.
Objective assessment insights and a personal development plan template help guide clear next steps.
HPPC strengthens confidence, resilience, communication and self-belief alongside football development.
High-performance coaching, holistic player development and professional camp delivery.
Michael (Mick) has spent his life in football, progressing from a schoolboy spell at Blackpool FC into a strong semi-professional playing career, most notably with AFC Fylde (formerly Kirkham & Wesham FC). Mick channels that experience into coaching—bringing real-world insight, high standards, and a clear commitment to helping players grow through disciplined training, confidence, and love of the game.
Daniel is a former professional and semi-professional footballer and experienced coach with a background across academy, school, private and community football settings. He leads the technical and tactical direction of HPPC and oversees coaching delivery, assessments and player development standards.
Tanya leads operations, parent support, partnerships and program coordination to ensure a professional and well-supported experience for players and families.
David supports the mindset, leadership and development sides of HPPC. His role focuses on helping players improve confidence, composure, resilience and ownership of their growth on and off the pitch.
The HPPC football model is influenced by Fleetwood Town FC’s player development approach, helping players understand the game, make better decisions and perform with intent in every moment.
Think forward. Play forward. Run forward.
Recognise space, break lines, use width well and attack with purpose.
Exploit quickly.
Make clear decisions, support forward actions and turn moments into chances.
Defend with energy, discipline and intent.
Press, stay connected, protect central areas and compete strongly in duels.
React immediately.
Counter-press if possible. Recover quickly if not. Delay, deny and regain compactness with urgency.
At HPPC, talent matters, but attitude and habits matter just as much.
Every player is challenged across the technical, tactical, physical and psychological sides of performance.
Ball mastery, first touch, passing, receiving, finishing, 1v1 attacking and defending, and position-specific actions.
Scanning, support angles, width, overloads, building play, pressing, recovery runs and transition decision-making.
Speed, acceleration, change of direction, coordination, movement efficiency and repeated effort.
Confidence, composure, resilience, communication, concentration and ownership of improvement.
Two-day age-group pathways with structured activation, rotation stations, games and reflection.
HPPC includes practical field-based assessments to help players understand their current level and identify clear next steps for improvement.
A timed passing circuit designed to assess passing accuracy, scanning, ball control and decision-making under pressure.
A shooting assessment focused on technique, speed, accuracy and consistency under game-like demands.
A linear speed assessment used to measure early acceleration over 10 metres and overall sprint performance over 20 metres.
A change of direction assessment used to measure braking control, turning ability and re-acceleration off both left and right legs.
Where appropriate, HPPC may also use a Flying 20m Sprint or a T-Drill to assess different movement qualities and provide variation across groups or future camps.
Players do not need to be perfect before camp. They just need to arrive ready to learn, ready to work and ready to compete.
Clear preparation supports a smooth camp experience for players and families.
