How it works
Our Academy operates a trial system, whereby you can come for a free trial with your child and see if they enjoy it. Our coaches assess the ability of the player and based on their level will then be offered a chance to sign up for the Academy squad or for the Development squad.
If you would like to try out for our September squads please email josie@dfy.org.uk or Whatsapp on +447881440100
We aim to work with all of our players ensuring that they all get the chance to graduate to our match playing teams and play in the Saturday league games.
