ABOUT UK SOCCER SCHOOL

UK Soccer School was founded by Kieran O’Boyle and Noah Keats in January 2022. Both growing up with a ball at their feet, the pair were lucky enough to move to the US on soccer scholarships and play NCAA Division 1 soccer.

Whilst coaching in the US, Kieran and Noah both realized the status quo of the game in this country. Coaches tended to be either someone’s parent who would be trying their hardest but lacked the soccer knowledge to really help develop the players, or, in some cases, coaches would be ‘professional’ but would take the fun and enjoyment out of the game.

Both Kieran and Noah count themselves lucky to not only have had careers in the professional game, but also to have gained lifelong friendships, life lessons and memories from it. UK Soccer School was created to give children a best in class soccer education whilst maintaining the fun and enjoyment that comes from the world’s most popular sport.

Through our carefully designed coaching curriculum, compatible with childhood education standards, we tailor our programs to the different ages and ability levels that we cater for. This, alongside our dynamic and energetic coaching staff helps children ‘learn to play the UK way’!
