Our Coaches
We believe that licensed professional coaches who know and love the game are the best teachers for children just discovering football, or older kids who want to improve their fitness and skills.
This is why our training is provided by former HKFA Premier League & Division 1 players who are certified in either English FA Level 1 and 2, or HKFA Level C and D Licenses, so that your child can receive the best training possible, and that they learn all the important benefits that this sport can provide.
All coaches are also SCRC checked.
