Ruiz Football Academy provides quality high level coaching to all football classes and clinics. Each coach has a high level of playing experience that allows them to help each child develop their skills, no matter of age or ability.

Our coaches deliver energetic classes and are passionate and enthusiastic about working with children. All coaches hold a valid blue card and have experience playing and teaching soccer. 

They all have one thing in common, they aim to be an excellent role model for each and every child, someone that can inspire and encourage each child to feel included, get involved, learn new skills and develop healthy and positive behaviours.
