About
Bedford, Bedfordshire-based football school
Welcome to Skillupsoccer! Skillupsoccer was founded by Edward Commodore-Mensah, a passionate sports coach based in Bedford, Bedfordshire. With years of experience, including time at the Tottenham Hotspur Academy, I specialise in helping individuals enhance their footballing skills. My approach combines technique, confidence-building, and fun, ensuring that training is enjoyable while also effective. Whether you're a budding athlete or looking to take your game to the next level, I provide tailored programmes that cater to your unique needs. My mission is to build your technical abilities through engaging games and exercises that make training something to look forward to.
At the core of my coaching philosophy is the belief that training should never feel like a chore. I focus on creating a supportive and exciting environment where all players can thrive. I have worked with numerous individuals across different age groups, helping them unlock their potential and achieve their goals. I have players who have gone on to professional academies such as Northampton Town and Peterboroug United. I have players who have recently attended trials with MK Dons, Leicester City and Cambridge United! My sessions address various aspects of football, from skill development to mental resilience. I am dedicated to fostering not just better athletes but well-rounded individuals who gain confidence and long-lasting skills. Join me on this journey and let's turn your aspirations into achievements.

Ed has trained all 3 of my children, who all play at different levels of abilityand has got the best out of each of them. They have had the opportunity to attend some of the holiday camps which the kids love as they are great fun, but also they always come away with a new skill. We've also used the 1-2-1 coaching which has been fantastic at targeting specific areas of theeir game. It's incredibleto watch it all come alive on the pitches in their next games and other parents are wanting how their games has suddenly changed. Ed has a really good understanding oh how things like confidence, self belief and enthusiasm plays such an important part in helping players develop and its not only his football knowledge and skills that make it work but his understanding of teaching children. Thank you Ed and we are looking forward to our next session!!!!

Anybody can put a set of cones down and charge you money to coach kids football but with Ed the moment you meet him yo9u know he isn't doing it for the money but for the joy of seeing kids improve and do well. My goodness, the way my husband and I are happy we met this guy. We don't worry anymore about our child. Thank you so much Ed!!!
