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 where the no. 10 shirt.
This is a popular course, so be quick.

DF Coaching Review
As parents of two boys who have been with DF coaching from a very young age we couldn’t recommend DF coaching highly enough. Our boys are now 10 and 12 years old and have each progressed massively on their football journey with DF - they love the game , they play the game in the right way and they have really grown as individuals in terms of their confidence, motivation, values set and team skills. Outwith football our boys have also do be multi sports with DF and also benefited from having DF providing the PE syllabus at primary school. Dan and the team have been and continue to be a hugely positive influence in our boys lives both on and off the pitch and we could not be happier with this.

Simply the best coaching set up for young boys/girls in the Teesside area.
Never seen my ten year old boy get so excited to attend every training session which is what it’s all about fun learning with high intensity.
My boys sessions are tailor made for him to progress in the academy set up. Can see the progression every time he attends a session.
Highly recommend DF coaching to any young boy or girl wanting to progress in a fun technical environment.

My son Ollie has been working with Dan and his team at DF Coaching for 6 years now. He has developed hugely since the day he walked on to the pitch, this is not just in his game but in his knowledge of the game and his confidence. The kids listen to Dan and absorb each and everything that he says to them and they give him 100% every time they train. As a parent it's amazing to see your child come so far and be able to trust their coach at the same time. Even after our son signed for an academy he asked to keep training with Dan and still attends his sessions every week, testament to how much the boys enjoy their sessions and how much respect they have for their coach. As parents we cannot recommend Dan and his team at DF Coaching enough!

Dan and his enthusiastic team of coaches have been fantastic in all the years my son has been attending. He has thoroughly enjoyed attending different sessions learning and improving - beginning at the age of 4, up to present day sessions as a 12 year old. Would highly recommend.

Danny has been coaching my 2 boys for the last couple of years now (boys are 6 and 9 years old) the improvement in both their abilities has been unbelievable, their technical ability, their understanding of the game, their confidence has gone through the roof. They both look forward to sessions with Danny and have formed a great relationship with him on and off the training field.
Danny believes in, and uses ‘on the ball’ training techniques and utilises ball mastery, vision, control and in depth analysis of the game which massively helps with the boys understanding of the game.
Danny has helped develop both boys into higher levels of kids football.
I would highly recommend Danny as a coach and looking forward to seeing further development he can produce with the boys.

Danny is a brilliant, hard working and dedicated coach. His understanding of the game and how children should play and develop is second to none.

Absolutely amazing through every age group. My eldest started at 2.5 years old at mini messi’s through too the development league, and now is in an under 8 Leven team. He still loves training with Danny and the other lads every week. Training is the best around in Teesside, wouldn’t go anywhere else. Just started my youngest at mini messi’s and he loves it just as much.

Lucas loves working with Danny. He’s taken part in a bit of everything that DF offers - 121s, small grouped sessions, and then also larger group training. He’s also gone to the DF holidays clubs.
What’s so good for him is that the sessions are intense, well thought-out, challenging - how he likes them , but fun at the same time.
The drills and training exercises are match realistic and really get you thinking.
Lucas has learned so much over the years.
