Grassroots teams
Weekly training, real match experience and a proper team environment where young players grow together.
Play, progress, belong
Our grassroots squads give players the chance to train hard, compete and be part of something.
Every squad is coached to the same DNA Academy standard: structured sessions, genuine game time and a focus on developing each player, not just winning on a Sunday.
