The Football Academy | Player Development & 1-to-1 Training

More than just regular training.

Practising on your own is a great way to improve ball control, coordination, agility, confidence, creativity and fitness. You don't need a full team or a training pitch - just a football, a little space and the commitment to put in the work.

To help players continue developing outside of their scheduled sessions, we have partnered with Billericay Town FC first-team player and specialist football coach Alfie Cerulli, founder of 1-to-1 Football Training.

Your Free Technical Training Library

Alfie has created a collection of short, high-quality skills and ball mastery videos, designed specifically to help our players develop their individual game away from regular academy training.

Each video provides clear instruction and a demonstration from Alfie, showing exactly how to perform the skill or exercise. The sessions are designed to be simple to follow, practise and repeat at your own pace.

Whether you’re working on first touch, ball control, coordination or a particular technical skill, the library provides a range of exercises that can be practised independently.

It's completely FREE for our players, with access provided through your college Microsoft Teams account, allowing you to view the training library whenever and wherever it suits you.

Meet Alfie Cerulli

Throughout the season, Alfie will make several guest coaching appearances at the Football Academy, giving players the opportunity to meet and work with him in person and gain additional insight from his experience as a senior first-team player.

Alfie understands the importance of individual technical development and the work required away from team training. His combination of short, easy-to-follow videos and face-to-face coaching gives our players additional opportunities to develop both on and off the pitch.

Want Additional Individual Coaching?

If you would like more personalised support, Alfie delivers 1-to-1 sessions across all levels, focusing on technical development, attacking play and finishing.

Alongside his in-person coaching, Alfie runs the Clinical Finishing Program - an online structured training program for players who want to improve their finishing. Members follow detailed coaching drills and shooting sessions each month and submit their footage to receive personal feedback directly from Alfie.

The 1-to-1 coaching sessions are separate from regular training sessions, so if you would like further information, please speak to Alfie directly at training or visit 1to1footballtraining.co.uk.

You’re in safe hands.

Although we don't currently have a dedicated goalkeeping video library, our goalkeepers can access additional 1-to-1 coaching outside of regular training through Dan Worthington, our Football Academy Goalkeeping Coach and founder of DW Goalkeeping Academy.

Additional Goalkeeping Coaching

Dan works with goalkeepers across a wide range of levels, providing specialist 1-to-1 sessions designed to develop technical ability, build confidence and enhance their understanding of the goalkeeper's role, while focusing on specific areas of everyone’s game that require additional attention.

Attend a Goalkeeping Masterclass or Showcase Event

The masterclass sessions are delivered by professional goalkeeping coaches from clubs such as Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea, while the showcase events give players the opportunity to showcase their abilities and be seen by scouts from professional clubs.

The 1-to-1 coaching, masterclasses and showcase events are separate from regular training sessions, so if you would like further information, please speak to Dan directly at training or visit dwgoalkeepingacademy.co.uk.
