Train and Play

Train to Play is a unique programme developed by DS Coaching NI to support young footballers who are unregistered or registered with clubs but not currently getting regular match time. We understand how important confidence, development, and enjoyment are — and that every player deserves the chance to play.

This initiative provides a weekly training session and regular friendly matches, designed to help players stay sharp, improve their skills, and build confidence in a fun, supportive, and game-focused environment.
