About Football Academy & Training
Football for All - Yeh Hai SMFA
We started out with empty grounds and a big dream. For me, football isn't just about scoring goals - it's about building character, discipline, and finding your place in a family. Hum log har ek ko welcome karte hain (we welcome everyone) - toddlers, kids, teens, seniors, boys, girls, beginners, and pros.
Who Trains With Us
- Kids from age 2 and up (Grassroots football coaching for the chhotus)
- Competitive youth squads: U-5, U-7, U-10, U-13, U-15, U-17
- Girls’ Under-14 team (Actively growing, ladkiyon ka team bhi full josh mein hai)
- Senior teams for MFA 2nd & 3rd division
Training Approach
I run batches in the mornings, evenings, weekdays, weekends - so you can fit football into your life. For the youngest, it's about falling in love with the game through fun drills and basic skills. The older teens get tactical coaching, match exposure, and prep for competitive football leagues.
Our goalkeeper training sessions are led by certified coaches - proper focus on elite techniques and confidence building.
Beyond the Game
Football isn’t only physical. I mix in nutrition workshops with experts, fitness drills, gym workouts, and constant feedback - abhi ye better hai isse (now this is better than that). Mindset, resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship are at the heart of everything.
Pathway to Pro
For those chasing pro dreams, we have tie-ups with big academies and direct access to MFA trials - clear route for youth football development, no shortcuts.
Hum log heart, hustle, aur hunger lekar aaye hain (we bring heart, hustle, and hunger). Thaan liya hai - we’re here to change the game.

My Story
Three years back, we kicked off SMFA with nothing but a promise and a bunch of footballs. Early mornings, bruised knees, tough losses—sab kuch dekha (saw it all). But watching these kids become not just better players but better humans, that’s what makes it worth it. We started as strangers, now we’re a family. Football’s just the beginning—brotherhood, support, and growth, that’s what SMFA is really about.
My Work
Football Training for All Ages - We run youth football coaching from 3 years and up, plus goalkeeper training Mumbai and selection trials for tournaments.
Building Character, Not Just Skills - It’s about more than football—discipline, teamwork, confidence, and character building through sports matter here.
Grassroots to Competitive Glory - Our certified coaches use tactical drills, football nutrition guidance, and focus on purposeful play for every student.
Open to All with Passion - If you’ve got heart and hustle, you belong here. Agar passion hai (if you’ve got passion), welcome to the team.
Join the SMFA Family - When you join us, you join a community—players, parents, all together, learning and celebrating every step.
