“If confidence is key to a child’s development then we must inspire it. My son has grown in stature, and his personality shines through since he began playing sport with these coaches.”
HOW WE STARTED
In 2022 DFY took over the well-established Roundwood Rangers FC which had been running since 2009.
The mission of the DFY Academy is to develop talented and committed players by creating an engaging and challenging environment, all while still enjoying the many benefits of the dynamic, fun and accessible sport.
Many players have gone on to be selected for major London clubs, including Arsenal, Fulham, QPR, Crystal Palace, Watford and Barnet.
We have had a fantastic 2024/25 season with the club growing enormously. We plan to continue that success in 2025/26 and have spaces in some of our teams particularly U7 boys and U8 & U12 Girls. Please click the link to enquire about a trial session.
