Andy Arter is a fantastic coach. He helped me in the early development of my career when I was still learning the game. His in depth coaching of my skills had a drastic positive impact on my game. Teaching me handling skills in isolated drills which progressed and got more challenging until they were routine enough to be natural to me in a game. These skills are still in practice in my game now. I would highly recommend!

Leicester Tigers and England U20

Being coached by Andy Arter has been such a privilege, I’ve never experienced such a driven and ambitious coach in pushing each player to play to their strengths and improving minor details in their game. Being a taller scrumhalf, I struggled to follow the patterns of the smaller scrum halves, Andy spent countless time with me using my size to my advantage, which has ultimately led to me pushing on in my career and making me more comfortable and confident with my skills, which I struggled to do before going to Andy for help.

I’d really recommend Andy, for all ages, as he has the ability to adapt sessions based on the players age, skill, position and character, ultimately demonstrating his expertise in coaching, and being an extremely likable role model to all.

Ampthill RFC and London Irish RFC

I’ve worked with Andy for many years and I can honestly say that his passion for developing young players is second to none. Andy always challenged me to improve my core skills, constantly pushing me outside of my comfort zone. He played an integral role in my development from schoolboy rugby to the Premiership. For any rugby player looking to improve their rugby whilst having fun, I couldn't recommend his services enough.

Our 15 yr old has been working with Andy on different parts of his game for years. Andy has a wonderful way of making his years of expertise in rugby coaching blend with an overall personal confidence that the players take forward into not just their game but just as importantly, into their everyday lives.

Andy has coached my son over a number of years and has really helped him improve his kicking game and awareness. Andy always makes sessions fun and engaging whilst focussing on the core skills needed to help the boys play their best.

Steve - Windsor RFC Parent

I’m a parent of an U18 Colt who’s accomplished at various positions on the rugby pitch, from back row to full back. He’s recently been selected into the fly half role due to his awareness, accuracy, quickness of hand and control of the play plan. Due to his drive to excel at place-kicking he asked to find a coach that could help in this specific area. We heard about Andy Arter providing 1-2-1 coaching and enquired as to whether he could help. Luckily, Andy is a seasoned Fly Half himself and was more than willing to give my son coaching lessons at a time that suited us. We booked four sessions and through Andy’s positive approach, my son’s kicking average has more than doubled through the systems Andy developed for him. He’s now able to take this with him and improve himself. This system is simple and gives a clear picture and process for my son to follow no matter what ground he’s kicking on or whatever the weather conditions. I would thoroughly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a ‘can do’ coach who’s flexible in his approach to the players' varying needs.
