It has been a wonderful experience for Alphons in the academy. Staying in the hostel,adapting and adjusting himself with other students and being in the field playing he has developed so much with regards to his skills and his passion for football continues to grow and being in the academy helps him to be more hardworking, persevering and a spirit to work tirelessly to achieve his goal.

It has been a journey with apprehension, hope and rewarding tryst with RFC. Hat's off to this academy to put out coaches of high pedigree and managing many boys in the most difficult age. Wishing RFC to compete and get out some great footballers and make all us proud. 

Putting my son at RFC has brought about a good change in my son Tashi, keeping in view his shy nature. I think the academy has given him a broader perspective about football as a profession. The only struggle is keeping him equally interested in his academics. The academy should somehow make the kids understand the importance of being educated enough to handle their future career with regards to football. 

Our son Dhruv has been playing football since the age of 8. Initially we thought the love for the game will fade as he starts growing older and he only wants to play the sport for pass time. But as he start growing older he only became more passionate about the sport and started expressing his desire to play professional. It was in the summer of 2018 that we started scouting for a ‘football academy’ in India. By then Dhruv had already started playing for his high school football team in Dongguan, China. His coaches back there said the boy shows great potential and needs proper coaching. We first read about RFC, Bangalare on one of the websites and since we have our permanent residence in Bangalore we decided to give it a shot. The 3-days try out session grilled him thoroughly and he got a feeler of what lies ahead if he wants to even qualify into the professional league.

He has been with RFC since June 2018 and has gradually progressed and has been showing improvement in both skill and intellectual aspects of the game. He never shied away from any opportunities to train and practice, and slowly but steadily started catching up. At the same time, his improvement over the last year was exponentially greater than all the progress he’s made previously and we believe Coach Mr.Marcos’s training made the most significant contribution to that.

Without going into specifics of RFC’s philosophy and core tenets of his training, we have seen visible development in our son. Coach Mr. Marcos’s constant and consistent focus on players’ football awareness and intellectual development and his natural ability to engage the boys as per their strengths, keeping their attitude and ability to perform in mind has been a brilliant approach. Dhruva is more confident on and off the field, plays with visible poise and confidence even against older and physically more dominant player. He’s understanding the techniques and nuances of playing 11 a side and has played both a striker and mid field. Playing different positions in the team is also helping him to adapt and change his game. We also see significant improvements in his agility & ball control.

Also worth mentioning, RFC’s training does not stop with children. They educates parents as well, recapping every training session, game or competition with Whatsapp messages, photos, highlights as well as each player’s statistics. Such extensive insight into the why’s and how’s of the training makes it so much easier for parents who are interested to be in a position to help their children to excel. The sport and the all-round coaching has made Dhruva a very responsible adult. We are extremely satisfied with the overall progress he has made at RFC over the last 2 years. 

Akshat joined RFC FA in 2019. Him being very young we as parents were little confused about his joining the residential. But since Akshat was very keen. We thought to give it a try! 
When he came home for his first break. we observed lot of positive changes in him. his attitude has changed, he had become more confident. and this was noticed even by our friends ... even being on vacation, he was conscious about his food intake and exercise. Even when there was no one around to check on him! We are very happy to see this version!

I also cannot forget to mention how helpful management had been throughout. Our calls were answered even at 10pm! Nikhil and Derick sir almost held our hands and made us walk through this...They were always there to clear our confusions and take care of things as and when required! 
We are happily looking forward to coming session and akshat is more eager than us.
