WHO WE ARE

THIS IS WHERE PLAYERS COME TO GET BETTER.

Matt Tally Player Development is based at KGV Hub in Worcester, and the job is the same for every player who walks on: get better.

We run three types of session — Development Group, Girls Only and 1-2-1 coaching — for players who are serious about improving.

Every session is planned, and every player knows what they’re working on, so progress is something parents can actually see.

We’ve coached thousands of players across Worcestershire, and that experience shapes how we coach. Standards are high and the tone is positive: we expect effort, respect and a good attitude every session.

In return players get real coaching, honest feedback and a clear next thing to work on. Nobody drifts through a session here — every player is watched, pushed and told the truth about their game.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

HARD WORK. HIGH STANDARDS. REAL PROGRESS.

Players improve when every session has a plan, the standards don’t move and the coaching is honest.

Every session is built on:

Clear coaching points

Decision-making under pressure

Effort, every session

Standards that don’t drop

Good sessions become good habits. Good habits build better players.

The Record

The players who’ve come through.

Thousands of players have trained with us across Worcestershire, and the ones who committed have gone on to Worcester City Youth, Worcester City Women and the Aston Villa Academy.

Wherever a player starts, the job is the same: keep improving, and earn the next step. Every session is run to professional standards with:

FA Qualified football coaches

Enhanced DBS checks for coaches

Safeguarding and first aid training kept up to date

Coach Tally

Player Development & High Performance Coach

I founded MTPD and have worked with thousands of young players across Worcestershire — from four-year-olds taking their first touches to players who’ve gone on to Worcester City Youth, Worcester City Women’s First Team and Aston Villa Academy. That range of experience shapes how I coach every session.

I lead the Elite programme, run the development groups and deliver 1-2-1 coaching for players who want focused, individual attention. My sessions are built around repetition, clear coaching points and high standards — I expect effort and give honest feedback in return.

What parents say

The difference parents see in their children after regular training with us.

PASSION. CONFIDENCE.
LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT THAT WORKS.

My boys have been coached by coach Tally for the last 7-8 years since he started out, the passion he has for developing children and building their confidence is second to none.

The coaches he has brought along with him as he has expanded are all fantastic with the kids and the kids are all encouraged to make good training partners and this is reflected by the friends my boys have made over the years.

— Karla Gillett

PERFECT START FOR YOUNG PLAYERS FUN, FOCUS AND REAL FOUNDATIONS

My 3 year old has recently joined Tally Tots and he loves it! Coach Webby really takes the time to teach him the core skills providing a great foundation for the future.

They know how to make it fun and exciting while keeping the kids engaged, which isn’t easy for this age group.

My lad looks forward to going every week.

– Thomas Whitby

HIGH STANDARDS. REAL RESULTS.
PLAYING AT A HIGHER LEVEL

Matt Tally has coached Oli & Josh for a number of years now – the sessions are fast paced, intensive and fun.

All the coaches are great, but Tally in particular has a way of motivating the kids that we haven’t found in another coach.

The boys work really hard in his sessions and they have improved no end, it’s testament to his coaching that they both play to such a high standard now.

Thank you! 🌟

CONFIDENCE GROWS.
EVEN WHEN THEY DOUBT THEMSELVES

My daughter has been attending Tally’s for at least 2-3 yrs.

Her confidence has grown so much but so have her skills.

She loves training there, learning new skills and putting it onto practice.

She has her moments where she thinks she isn’t good enough and her head drops – the coaches are straight in, talking her through it.

It is a challenge but what a result!

– Victoria Moloney

CONFIDENCE. SKILLS. PLAYING WITH PURPOSE

My son absolutely loves Matt Tally football sessions.

He became much more confident, developed his skills and put it into practice during matches.

Matt is so encouraging and engaging, and develops a lovely rapport with all his ballers.

Would highly recommend

– Amanda Kinbrum

FROM FIRST TOUCH TO CLUB FOOTBALL

My daughter has been attending the girls only sessions for almost 2 years and they have been instrumental in developing her from someone who had barely kicked a ball to now playing club football.

I cannot speak highly enough of Matt, Mark and the rest of the coaches and would highly recommend them to any parent who would like their child to develop in a caring and friendly environment.
