Player Development Programme (School Years 1 to 6)
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.

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!

Remarkable setup, DF coaching offers the best around for your son/daughter ! Every coach will go above and beyond to make sure your child receives the best learning experience possible in a environment catered to suit your child. My sister came here at a young age and now is playing for an elite status academy and these guys were a huge part of the journey she is on !

This is the place to be to enjoy, develop and learn in football. With a different variety of approaches to coaching and many different styles to learn from. Dan and his team come highly recommended from coaching young first time players to higher level academy players. Whatever the age or level. DF COACHING is the place to be.

My two young boys (4 and 6) learn so much more than football from Dan and his team.
The sessions are always immaculately structured to ensure the boys have as many decision making opportunities as possible.
Outstanding setup that is having a hugely positive impact on our boys development.
