In the Player Development Programme, players have the option to train either once or twice a week undertaking our 7-week curriculum sessions, with the aim to develop foundation phase players. Players are assigned to a team, participating in a match format with the objective to create technical footballers that have a passion for the game and develop an understanding of the tactical aspect of the sport. Opportunities for players to progress into league football at the appropriate time in their development.

Mini Messi’s
Play for the stars – that’s what Messi did. At DFC, we like to start training ‘early’, to give maximum time and opportunity to develop talent.
If you think your child has what it takes, our popular Mini Messi’s training sessions are available from the age of 3. Sometimes 2 if there’s potential shown 😉 – let them dream, then earn that right to wear the no. 10 shirt.
This is a popular course, so be quick.
Maximise your playing potential with DFC

Great for really young ones too
Great for just getting out and about.
After a chat with Craig in the passing he mentioned their programme for tots. Took our 3yr old daughter mostly for the social side and to get her into sports early. She had a great time and Jack has a great way with all the kids he is coaching making it fun for them.

Fantastic ⚽️
All the coaches at DF are amazing and provide sessions suitable for all ages and ability. My son started at age 3 and has developed so much, in so many different ways, over the past six years. Also, DF teach PE sessions in my primary school and the children absolutely love them! They support the less confident so brilliantly as well as providing challenge for those who need it. It’s definitely the highlight of their week!

Best in the area without question!
DF are by far the best in the region at what they offer. Top quality, highly beneficial sessions at an affordable price. Developing young players technical ability, social skills, confidence & creativity in an environment where kids are encouraged to express themselves with a ball at their feet.
With sessions for all levels of ability, from a child’s first steps into football through to those trying to forge a career in the game, DF Coaching is a fantastic place for any child to enjoy their football journey.
Danny is comfortably the best in the region at what he does, you really wouldn’t want to go anywhere else ⚽️
