NextGen Elite is more than a football academy – we’re a gateway for the next generation of football stars. Our comprehensive Football School programs, along with tailored 1-to-1 coaching and dynamic group sessions, help players develop the technical skills, tactical insight, and confidence needed to stand out and impress on the football pitch.
NextGen Elite is a football academy based in East London, dedicated to shaping the next generation of talented footballers. Through our comprehensive football school program, alongside 1-to-1 and group coaching sessions, we help players master the technical and tactical skills needed to step up into academy and professional football.
Our Mission: To nurture technically skilled, tactically aware, and confident footballers, preparing them to take the next step in their football journey.
Founded in East London, NextGen Elite was established by Tyler A., who has had extensive playing experience at several Category 1 and Category 2 London academies, as well as competing at district, county, and semi-professional levels. Drawing on this wealth of experience, our academy provides a professional and supportive environment where every player can thrive and reach their full potential.
At NextGen Elite, our 1-to-1 coaching sessions offer high-intensity, professional-standard training that gives players personalized guidance to fast-track their development. From perfecting technical skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting to enhancing tactical awareness and decision-making, our expert coaches create tailored programs that target each player’s strengths and growth areas.
These sessions also build confidence, discipline, and a professional mindset, providing the ideal foundation to progress into academy or professional football.
At NextGen Elite, our group coaching sessions provide a high-intensity, professional-standard environment where players develop their skills alongside others who share the same dream of reaching academy and professional football. Each session combines technical drills, small-sided games, and tactical exercises—designed to replicate academy-level training, not typical grassroots sessions.
Players will learn the key details that separate them from others and give them the edge needed to impress professional clubs. They develop movement, positioning, communication, and in-game decision-making, all while experiencing the intensity and enjoyment of training like a true academy player.
The NextGen Football School Programmes provide young players with a complete football education through weekly sessions. Each session focuses on developing technical skills and tactical awareness in a fun, engaging, and professional environment.
Players receive coaching at a high standard, learning the details that set academy and professional players apart. The programme also fosters a strong sense of community, helping players build friendships and become part of the NextGen family while reaching their full potential on and off the pitch.
At NextGen Elite, we don’t just train players — we guide them. Our goal is to help each player grow both on and off the pitch, building confidence, discipline, and the right mindset to succeed in football and in life.
We provide ongoing support, honest advice, and encouragement to help players handle challenges, stay focused, and keep improving. Whether it’s preparing for trials, dealing with setbacks, or staying motivated during training, we’re here to guide every player on their journey to becoming the best version of themselves.
At NextGen Elite, our training sessions are designed to develop complete footballers — technically skilled, tactically intelligent, and ready to train like a professional. Each high-intensity session is carefully planned to focus on all aspects of the game, from ball control, passing, and finishing to positioning, movement, and decision-making under pressure. Our coaches create a positive, professional-standard environment where players can express themselves, learn from real-game scenarios, and continuously improve.
Whether training 1-to-1 or in a group, every session is built to challenge players, push them closer to their goals, and prepare them for the demands of academy and professional football.
At NextGen Elite, our football drills are designed to challenge players and sharpen every aspect of their game. From ball mastery and first-touch control to passing combinations, finishing techniques, and defensive positioning, each drill is taken from top professional academies and tailored to develop skills that translate directly into match performance—drills you won’t typically see at grassroots clubs.
Our coaches use progressive, high-intensity exercises that build confidence, creativity, and consistency on the pitch. Every session combines technical repetition with real-game scenarios, allowing players to train like professionals, bridge the gap to academy-level football, and understand how and when to apply their skills in competitive play.
At Next Gen Elite, match play is a vital part of our player development philosophy. We believe that the best learning happens on the pitch — under real pressure, in real situations. Our matches give players the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in training, showcase their skills, and develop essential qualities such as decision-making, teamwork, and resilience.
Each fixture is designed to challenge players tactically and mentally, helping them gain valuable game experience that prepares them for academy and professional-level football. Every match is a chance to learn, improve, and take another step toward football excellence.
