About Us
We work with individuals who are serious about improving their game.
Who are Next Phase Football?
Next Phase Football is a football coaching service based in Cheshunt and Stevenage, specialising in individual and small group development for youth players and amateur adults. Founded by Matt Lee, a qualified and experienced coach, the business was created to offer focused, personalised training that players often miss in traditional team environments.
We work with individuals who are serious about improving their game — whether they’re just starting out or looking to sharpen specific areas of performance.
Our Mission
To deliver professional, structured coaching that supports players through every stage of their development — helping them grow in confidence, ability, and understanding of the game.
We believe in long-term development, not short-term fixes. Every session is purposeful, and every player is coached with care, clarity, and attention to detail.
Our Approach
We offer a calm, focused coaching environment where players are encouraged to ask questions, reflect on their performance, and take ownership of their development.
Our methods are built on:
- Individual attention
- Modern coaching principles
- Real feedback and measurable progress
- A consistent, player-first mentality
We coach with the aim of making players more confident, more aware, and more effective — both on and off the ball.
Who We Work With
We offer coaching for players of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
- Young players building their confidence, technique and game understanding
- SEN (Special Educational Needs) children who benefit from patient, tailored support
- Players of any level — whether just starting out or playing at a high standard
- Parents seeking extra support for their child outside of team training
- Teams looking for structured, professional coaching to complement their programme
- Anyone who values focused, personalised coaching to take their game further
