Practical questions

Before you start.

Where does training take place?

Ian is based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The specific training venue and arrangements will be confirmed when you enquire.

Do I need an assessment before individual coaching?

Yes. New players begin with an individual performance assessment so coaching can be guided by their baseline and development priorities.

Can I continue training with my club?

Yes. Play Pro NI supports your existing club football.

Is the app compulsory?

No. The app is optional alongside in-person coaching and is also available to remote players. Enquire for availability, programme details and fees.

How do I hear about small groups and ID events?

Choose Small Group Training — Waiting List or Player ID Events — Register Interest when enquiring. Dates, locations and eligibility details will be shared when available; neither service is open for booking yet.
