What the parents say:

“My two boys come out of each session buzzing and exhausted! They have learned a lot since joining the DBS academy. An added bonus for us as parents is getting the progress reports. They were detailed and made it very obvious that the coaches put a lot of effort into all the kids; they were on the ball with the boys’ strengths and need for more work. The boys look forward to the next term ahead!”

– Carla Heffernan

“Derek here, Ethan and Cain’s dad. Very impressed with DBS Academy; they’ve stepped up a few gears. The kids are also very impressed. Top-quality coaches up there. High-intensity training with learning the knowledge of the game too. There’s one thing about being able to play soccer, but another thing is reading the game, which Fred and the rest of the high-class coaching staff up in the Academy teach the kids. It’s the only place to go if you want your son to develop in body and mind.”

- Derek Tansey

“The DBS Technical Training Academy operates with a player-centred approach, and my son enjoys the technical, tactical, and strength-conditioning sessions delivered by qualified coaches in a fun environment at the state-of-the-art facility at the National Sports Camps. The coaches provide constructive and positive feedback, and his knowledge of the game has improved. I would highly recommend this program.”

– Tanya D’Mello
