Dale Tapping

Hi Andrew. Caleb had a great experience with Dale. It was a rare opportunity for a youth player to get one on one tutoring from a modern, current, elite midfield AFL level coach who is currently coaching one of the best midfields in the AFL, and whom has been part of taking his group from being rated one of the worst in the League to amongst the best. Dale identified areas Caleb can improve apon and offered the advice to do so. He also gave him some 'game day' advice for playing in the midfield which will prove invaluable. The current circumstance the game finds itself in has given kids an unbelievable opportunity to interact with some of the games current elite coaches. Any young person with a goal of improving their footy has a unique opportunity to get Elite coaching and advice. I believe it was just the sort of motivating session he needed after the disappointment of the postponed season.

Exceptional

Each and every session with Dale is absolute quality. Far from pass, kick and run, Dale focuses on areas needing improvement and is genuinely interested in future aspirations. Our son regards Dale not just as a top level coach, but as a mentor and friend. His confidence and skill levels have improved markedly with each session. If you’re looking to take your game to the next level and beyond look no further than Dale Tapping.

Focus on the "Why"

Our son has gained invaluable experience and a deeper understanding of the game from his sessions with Dale. Dale's focus during coaching is on the "Why". He has a wonderful way of gently drawing out the best in a footballer by flexibly delivering the session to suit the individual player's learning style. Thanks Dale!

Dale coaching

Dale was great on how he explain and showed the drills, he really listened to what I had to say and then reflected it on the training to help and improve my skills. The communication was great knows how to really talk to someone about footy

★★★★★

Highly recommended

Dale has provided a few one on one sessions with Jake which have seen nothing but positive development in his skills. Dale’s elite coaching skills are evident through his ability to engage with his student and articulate information. Dale simplifies the drills through explanation and demonstration, which encourages confidence, growth and enthusiasm. Jake's ground ball skills, handballs and kicking improved immensely, and Dale’s tutelage has provided information and skills transferable though his future years of football. With the uncertainty of footy for 2020, take the opportunity to improve your skills and invest in some one on one coaching from Dale; you won’t be disappointed. Jason, Parent

You won’t be disappointed!

My 11 year old son has been working with Dale post his 2021 season with an emphasis to support him getting acceptance into an AFL excellence program for high school. Dale has been delivering drills related to clean hands below the knees and decision making under pressure with a real emphasis on repeat efforts. My son has improved immensely under Dale’s guidance in the last few months and it’s a shame he is relocating back to Melbourne. As a teacher, Dale explains the essential elements of the drills in a clear and concise manner and always closes the loop after the drill by asking the students what the key takeaway message was from the drill. Dale is always very encouraging with an emphasis on mindset techniques to help get over any disappointing efforts inside the drills. I highly recommend Dale’s coaching style and calm demeanor. It’s amazing to think someone with such in elite professional AFL experience is easily accessible to help young kids with an interest in AFL, but more importantly a real want to help your kids get the most of their AFL. Book with Dale today; you won’t be disappointed!
