I see DSSA as a family first, not just a football academy. We push kids to do their best, but we keep it real. Discipline matters. Chasing the long-term goal matters even more. ### Training Without Injuries Injury is a mood killer, and I’m super strict about avoiding it. Every player goes through our DSSA Medical Assessment. We dig into old injuries, run physical tests for speed, strength, all that jazz - even VO2max. With results, we tweak workouts for each kid. No one-size-fits-all here. Our in-house sports physios are always around. We want champions, not just good players, so we’re heavy on injury prevention for young athletes. ### How We Train It’s not just about football skills. Sessions cover: - Strength and conditioning for football kids (think squats, planks, core work) - Speed and agility with hurdles and cones - Technique and posture - my coaches never stop correcting form We run batches both offline (Andheri, Mumbai, at St. Dominic Savio and Holy Family) and online. Only a few seats each batch, so every kid gets proper attention. ### Playing and Competing Our teams get real match experience. We play in SFL Football League (Mumbai Football Association backed). Under-9 squad, Young Guns, came 2nd recently. First tournament, we were runners-up. Not bad, right? ## Highlights Browse through DSSA's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/dssa_india/football-academy/featured) - ![This is what we train for.
