"Developing the complete footballer — technically sharp, mentally strong, and always improving."
Rob Pemberton is a fully qualified football coach and community sport professional, holding a Level 3 Community Sport & Health qualification — achieved with distinction. His path into coaching wasn't accidental. It came from a genuine belief that football, done properly, changes lives.
With extensive hands-on experience delivering elite coaching programmes, holiday camps, and 1-1 sessions, Rob brings a rare combination of technical expertise and the kind of personal investment in each player that you can't manufacture or teach.
"I started ELEV8 because I wanted to build something that gave young players real development — not just sessions to fill holiday time. Every child deserves a coach who actually cares what happens to them."
His approach goes beyond the pitch. Rob is committed to building confidence, discipline, and a love of the game in every player he works with — helping the next generation grow not just as footballers, but as people who understand hard work, resilience, and what it means to keep improving.
At ELEV8, Rob leads every programme with the same standard of excellence he holds himself to.
Three principles shape every session Rob delivers — regardless of the player's age, level, or the service type.
There is no wasted time in a session with Rob. Every drill has a purpose, every repetition has a reason. Players leave having worked — not just having shown up.
Football is the vehicle. Confidence, discipline, resilience — these are the destination. Rob coaches players to be better people as much as better footballers.
Rob tells players and parents the truth. If something needs work, they'll know. If there's a weakness to address, it gets addressed. Growth only comes from honesty.
