A football coaching service in Petone that works one-on-one or in small groups, led by founder and head coach Rachel Finlay. The service is aimed at young players who want a development pathway, with a focus on technical ability, skill and game performance rather than general team training.
Sessions use solo drills, technical breakdown and individual programmes. The service works across the Wellington region and can arrange sessions to suit each player. Rachel Finlay has played football since she was four, reached the highest level of domestic football in New Zealand for several years, and holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Exercise and Sport Science. Her coaching record includes the New Zealand under-17 Women's World Cup squad in Uruguay in 2018, Tasman United, North Wellington FC, and assistant roles with Central Football and the Women's National League.
Cancellation terms are set out on the website. A session cancelled more than 48 hours ahead, with a replacement booked within seven days, is not charged. Cancellations closer to the session carry a fee of 50% or 100% of the session, and a session cancelled by the coach is not charged. Spaces can be limited when the schedule is near full.
Our pick in Petone for a young player who wants one-on-one technical coaching from a former national-level player.
