I joined RFC in June 2019 and since then I have changed a lot in a good way. In discipline, manner, and Football. I feel much better and happier while playing and now I understand the difficulties living away from parents, and I have gotten more responsible for my actions. I look forward to coming back for a new season with RFC. And I thank all of you for teaching me these things.

Thank you giving me this opportunity. RFC was my first football academy and I can’t express what my experience was. It felt like I was living on my dream. Many different footballers, different skills and different talent. They inspires me to not to give up on anything. And Marco sir, he is also the person who inspire me. It was really an amazing experience and i improved a lot.

I thought that the academy has been a good learning experience for me. There are a lot of players, and so i have had to fight and stay patient for my opportunities. Having another coach or two would have been beneficial because it is difficult to be seen properly by just one coach. More games would also have been nice. The hostel and food was good along with most of the staff. I look forward to the future.

RFC Football Academy's coach educator has a great vision for us. I can positively say that I have improved enormously in the past year with the help of his guidance. The management has been very interactive and friendly with the student-athletes and have been open to suggestions from our side. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a platform to improve yourself as a football player and a person as a whole. 

SHORABH BHATT

Captain of the senior Team

RFC has helped me a lot over the past couple of years since I have joined the academy in my professional and other aspects too and in Rfc the overall development of a player is taken into consideration so it helped me to grow physically, psychologically, socially, mentally and helped me to take my game into next level and i can say an overall development as an athlete.

I started my football playing as winger but here in rfc coach (marco anjos) told me that my best position will be CDM as i have the characteristics of playing that position and he will be helping me to develop my game accordingly and since then i have improved a lot in that position and the coach was always there to help me out whenever and whatever the situation was in every possible way. So far the experience in the rfc has been great for me as it has been providing all the things require for a player to grow his game and develop a characteristic of an athlete which will always help us further when we will be moving to some other club or other place .

DHRUV RAO

Student-Athlete

In the beginning of my journey in RFC I faced a few setbacks due to my immature behaviour, under the guidance of Coach Marco I've not only developed as a player but also as a person. On a tactical basis he has taught me several different methods of playing this "beautiful game", and as a person he has taught me virtues such as honesty, maturity and being humble. Overall at RFC we're more than just a team, we're more like family.

The quality of the training is at advanced level which helps the player to get better. The coaches in RFC are very skilled and experienced, they always help the players to improve and help to play good football.

SRIJAN TUTEJA

Student-Athlete

My experience of playing for RFC has been really good. Since I joined RFC, I have improved in many aspects of the game both mentally and physically. With the help of the coaches my game is a lot better today than the day I joined RFC. The coaches have always been helping me out to make me play the best I can, not only for me but for the development of the team. I have played in many different positions and that has also made me understand the role of every player in the team, so that I get to know what I should expect from my teammates when I pass them the ball. 

The management has also really helped me out. Whenever I have an issue I do not feel any hesitation to talk to any RFC staff member. They have really taken care of my studies, nutrition or anything I need and helped me out in the hostel so that I need not worry about anything while I am training on the pitch. After having completed one year in RFC I can say that I am a completely different and better player than when I joined RFC.
