Frequently Asked Questions
What age groups do you train?
We work with players from age 7 up to professional adult levels. The drills are tailored directly to the athlete's cognitive and physical capacities. Young children focus heavily on fundamental ball manipulation, while older athletes receive high-tempo positional scenarios, speed training, and intense tactical analysis.
Where do the training sessions take place?
Our core training sessions take place at the UCLAN Sports Arena and various state-of-the-art fully floodlit pitches around Preston. If a squad or team reserves a customised programme, Sagwati can also travel directly to your local grassroots club's pitch or training facilities upon request.
What equipment does the player need to bring?
Players must arrive with correct footwear (moulded studs or turf trainers are required for 3G/4G pitches), fitted shin pads, and a fresh bottle of water. All premium equipment (speed ladders, neon reaction cones, agility bands, and match-grade training balls) is provided fully by Malapark Football Coaching.
What is your cancellation and weather policy?
We require at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling to avoid full session fees. Because we train on elite all-weather 3G/4G turf, sessions will continue under light rain. In extreme cases of dangerous storms or frozen turf, sessions will be rescheduled instantly with zero fees.
