WHO WE ARE

WELCOME TO STAR PLAYER

The company was born in the midst of Covid in March 2020. When everyone else saw crisis our founder Great Evans saw opportunity. He took his love and knowledge of football and built a great foundation for the company.

In 2021, after suffering an ACL surgery he got his brother Diop Evans on board and since then, together they have helped the company to grow to now having an established home, 4 1-1 coaches, over 80 clients, 2 elite group sessions a week, holiday camps with the council, half term football camps, and now a SEN/D alternative provision service provider for BCP council.

All our coaches are FA Qualified and are either Ex Pro, Ex Academy, Current Academy or Ex Semi-Pro players. Football is our passion and is why we are so loud and demanding in all of our sessions.

OUR TEAM

Meet The Star Player Team

COACH NEO

Our Founder and CEO. The Best 1-2-1 Coach in the UK hands down, and he backs it up with every session he does. His passion and energy is contagious, and the children he coaches feed of it. He continually gets the best out of all of his players, and the development of the players he coaches from the first time they arrive to within 3 months and more is unbelievable.

Having been an Ex-Pro and in the Academy set up of various teams from a young age, he knows exactly what you need to become a pro and has helped multiple clients go on to sign for academies.

Diop - Coach Deo

Ex Semi Pro footballer and academy player at Brentford FC. Coach Diop started playing football at the age of 8 and has not looked back since. In his own words ‘football saved his life’ and is one of the reasons he is so passionate about the game. He loves to see players develop, and has a very nurturing and caring approach to his coaching.

Having had a serious ACL injury that kept him out of action for 3 years, he had to adapt his game from a speedy winger to a ball playing midfielder. This really influenced his coaching and can be seen in the type of technical and ball mastery drills he loves to embed in the children he works with.

Coach Diop will also be the head of our mentoring programme with the BCP Council.

With a fantastic strike, brilliant dribbling and an eye for a killer pass, he has all the attributes to pass on to the next generation.

Cameron GK

I’ve been coaching for 2 years now, I’ve played for spelthorne, and next gen academy and decided to get into coaching to help out my coach on weekends. I know coach in a few venues including the Brentford womens team.

I fell in love with developing players and delivering sessions. My sessions always include high levels of intensity as I believe that’s the best way to train and develop quickly. A fun face about me is the only time I broke a bone was when I was celebrating a goal

Kalvin

Hi, Im coach Kalvin I’ve been coaching for a year now. I am originally from America and was born in Miami, Florida. I currently play for Cockfosters FC, and recently played in Sweden and Spain. I also played division one college “soccer” at Mercer University. I fell in love with developing players because my dad always trained me as a kid and I want to be able to offer that same level of dedication to young players aspiring to be footballers.

My sessions focus on building a players technical ability while playing with high intensity. I believe players need to be able to control their mind and body while working under pressure. I look forward to doing sessions with the next generation of young footballers. A fun fact about me is I’m British American. My dad is originally from London.
