Here at TEK LAB we provide football camps designed to improve the skill and technique of players from Southend, Basildon, Billericay, Brentwood, Chelmsford and the Essex region. We offer these football coaching courses to children as young as 7, laying the foundations for them to add a valuable creative element to their game. No football player is ever too old or experienced to improve their technique or learn new skills, so we work with youth players of every age group as well as adults.
Great technique makes playing the game simpler. A player with seemingly natural fluidity takes less touches, makes accurate passes and becomes a valuable feature of his or her team. But while this may seem natural, it’s actually the result of hours upon hours of hard work and practice.
The basic building blocks of improving a player’s skill and technique revolve around four key aspects of the game:
At our football camps, we work to these basic principles in fun, engaging sessions at an intensity that gets players out of their comfort zone without compromising their enjoyment.
By mastering different elements of these basics, our clients in Southend, Basildon, Billericay, Brentwood, Chelmsford and the surrounding Essex areas soon begin to see an improvement in the quality of their game.

Quite simply, if a team has possession of the ball, their opponents can’t score. In recent years, possession football has become the cornerstone of the most successful teams. At the heart of those teams are players with the ability to control the ball.
From directed control to receiving the ball while moving, our football camps start at a basic level and advance up to introduce controlled speed into play.
Possession needs to develop into attacks, and that involves keeping control of the ball while running forwards. In order to run with the ball effectively, players need excellent stability and good balance as they must keep their head up to look for a pass or shooting opportunity.
Our football coaching courses also cover more advanced dribbling techniques, improving a player’s ability to evade opponents and obstacles at pace. By eliminating an opposing player from the game while minimising individual risks, players increase the efficiency of attacks.
Linked heavily to control of the ball and possession, passing efficiently allows for continued retention of the ball. In turn, this creates more attacks, changes the direction of play, sets up counter attacks and proves the difference in unlocking a stubborn defence.
Whether short and to feet or long and into space, by improving passing at one of our football camps, players soon start affecting games on the pitches of Southend, Billericay and the neighbouring areas.
Teams can’t win football matches if they don’t score goals, so accurate shooting will always be an asset. Our football coaching courses that cover shooting focus on striking the ball well and with accuracy. We also cover physical qualities such as balance, power and coordination, as well as mental attributes like self-confidence, determination and audacity.
