At The Player Pyramid, we provide high-quality, tailored football coaching services for individuals, squads, and small groups alike.

Founded in 2016 by owner and Head Coach Charlie Croydon, the business has since earned the trust of well over 100 individual clients, multiple clubs, and a range of structured football organisations, including university football clubs, colleges, and private development programmes.

Charlie began his coaching career in 2012 and has built a strong reputation as both a personal coach and squad manager. Over the years, he has developed his experience across a variety of clubs and organisations, including The Daniel Sturridge Academy, District Football Prep Schools, The University of Surrey, Corinthian-Casuals FC & Fulham FC to name just a few.

Alongside running The Player Pyramid, Charlie currently serves as Academy Director at Kingston College (Bedfont Sports Academy) and also manages two youth teams at Corinthian-Casuals FC.

As the company’s reputation and client base continued to grow, The Player Pyramid expanded its coaching team by bringing in Tom Taylor and Michael Fox. Both have added huge value to the business through their professionalism, coaching quality, and commitment to player development.

Having spent several seasons working closely with Charlie and under his guidance, Tom and Michael have developed into excellent coaches in both 1:1 and group environments. In recent years, they have gone on to manage and coach the U18s and U23s at Corinthian-Casuals FC, while also continuing to coach within the academy programme at Kingston College on a sessional basis.

Over the past 14 years, Charlie and his team have built a strong reputation for their dedication to player development and the structured, professional approach they bring to every session — whether focusing on technical, tactical, or physical improvement.
