MEKA Coaching - Built on experience, care and genuine development

Why MEKA Was Created

A Football Academy Built on experience, care and genuine development

As parents and long-time players and coaches, we’ve experienced how the right football environment can shape a child’s development. MEKA was created to deliver coaching that is technically focused, age-appropriate and built on clear structure.

We train with intention. Every session targets core football skills, decision-making and game understanding. At the same time, we communicate openly with families and create an environment where players feel supported, challenged and proud of their progress.

Our values:

Small group training focused on individual development
Coaching that builds both skill and confidence
A structured curriculum aligned to player age and stage

What Guides Our Work

A Clear Mission and Strong Principles

Our mission is to help young players grow in skill, confidence and character through purposeful coaching and consistent development.

Everything we do is guided by three values:

Quality – Coaching delivered with focus and professionalism
Community – A welcoming environment for players and families
Growth – Supporting each child’s progress on and off the pitch

The MEKA Coaching Model

A Structured Approach to Player Development

The MEKA Framework supports each player’s progress across four coaching pillars:

Technique - Ball mastery, first touch, striking technique, 1v1 skills and core fundamentals.
Agility & Movement - Balance, speed, footwork and body coordination to build confident movers.
Game Understanding - Decision-making, spatial awareness and learning how to read the pitch.
Mindset & Mental Strength - Confidence-building, resilience, emotional control and a positive attitude towards learning.

Our sessions combine technical skill with tactical awareness and strong communication from coaches.

How We Work With Players

All coaches are WWCC-cleared and First Aid certified and follow MEKA’s Coaching Framework, designed to guide players from foundational skills toward advanced technique and confident match play.

Parent Feedback

What Families Are Saying

"A Coach Who Truly Cares"

My son has trained with Erick for three years and the improvement has been remarkable. Erick is more than a coach, he’s a mentor. His ability to develop both technical skills and real confidence sets him apart. My son's ball control, positioning, and game awareness are on another level, and most importantly, he believes in himself now. Couldn’t recommend Erick more.

- Tino

"Confidence and Care in Every Session"

My son loves training with MEKA. He has developed so much and improved in leaps and bounds. Each session is fantastic, and the coaches treat every player with care while building their confidence.

I highly recommend it.

- Peter

"Professional, Positive Coaching"

From the first session, we could tell MEKA was different. The coaches are organised, encouraging, and genuinely care about the kids' growth.

Our son looks forward to training each week and comes home proud of what he’s learned.
