Why DFM

Cape Town's Football Coaching Academy for Young Players

Based at Rygersdal FC in Rondebosch, DFM develops complete players — technically, mentally, and tactically — at every stage of their game.

🏅

Our Players in Cape Town

Since launching, our players have shown an outstanding appetite for learning. Under Coach Ashraf's leadership coaching, players find DFM sessions complement their club and school football in the Western Cape perfectly. Our off-season programs include competitive matches against other Cape Town soccer schools.

📍

Training Venues — Rondebosch & Heathfield

We're partnered with Rygersdal FC for use of their A and B Fields in Rondebosch, and Heathfield Primary School which offers both artificial ground and grass surfaces. We are actively expanding to more venues across Cape Town's southern suburbs.

🤝

Whole Year Football Program

Our players are members of a community, not just a team. In the off-season we work with local Cape Town charities to bring sport and hope to underserved children. We believe sportsmanship doesn't stop at the edge of the field.

When I was close to giving up in Cape Town and wanted to go back to Johannesburg as I was struggling to adjust, Coach Dougie drove me to where I was staying at the time and we shared a heart to heart.

Coach Dougie instilled something very important in me, something I always carry with me. He encouraged me to stay optimistic and never to let my background circumstances stop me from pursuing my dreams.

Coach Dougie was the catalyst for us to lose our inhibition, to develop the person we wanted to see in the world on and off the field, and be that expression during the game that we loved so much.
