About Us
Who are we
Joel is the owner of First Step Footy and JE Coaching, of which First Step is a subsidiary. Joel has had a long and distinguished career playing for Cardiff Met and Hereford FC, including the latter's Wembley appearance.


Our Team
Joel leads the coaching side of the company ensuring that all of our coaches are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about what they are doing. We recruit aspiring or current professionals either from the sport or from an education setting.
Our Ethos
With both partners participating in sport at a high level and working in an education setting rather than just coaching we tend to use a player lead structure. This means players are encouraged and motivated to learn rather than told and shouted at. We consider this to be especially important with young children to ensure they have a positive introduction to the sport.
With our background in professional participation we strive to ensure each child is able to perform at their best, is able to take both winning and losing equally well and is able to understand how to achieve greater performance.
Vacancies
We don't have any vacancies at the moment but if you are interested in developing your coaching please let us know.
