Parents Testimonials

"There are so many things I appreciate about SMFA — it would be unfair to mention just one." From the very beginning, the experience with South Mumbai Football Academy (SMFA) has been nothing short of incredible. The coaching team is outstanding — not only in their training methods but in the way they connect with children. They’re not just coaches; they are mentors, guides, and role models. As a parent, I’ve personally learned a lot from the SMFA coaches about how to support and guide my children. Both my kids have been a part of SMFA for over a year, and the transformation has been inspiring — especially in my elder son. Initially, I enrolled him simply for physical exercise. I never imagined how far he would come. Today, just one year later, he’s not only playing exceptionally well but also growing in confidence, discipline, and focus. "At SMFA, it’s not just football — it’s character-building." The growth I see in my children — on and off the field — is a direct reflection of the care, effort, and passion the SMFA team puts into every session. I feel truly grateful to be part of this journey.

“SMFA is like family. I don’t even feel the need to monitor my son — the growth is evident at home.” What sets SMFA apart is the passion and hunger they bring to the field — not just in coaching, but in inspiring children to chase excellence. That same drive is instilled in every player, including my son Nirvana. He has grown tremendously — not just in football, but in communication, leadership, self-confidence, and discipline. And this growth extends beyond the field, shaping who he is as a person. “They’re not just coaches — they’re like parents on the field.” SMFA builds not just players, but individuals. Their hunger to improve reflects in the children. And when coaches lead with such intention, the kids naturally strive to become better, both as athletes and as human beings. Everything I hoped to see in my child — I see it taking shape at SMFA.

"SMFA is not just a football academy — it’s a place where my child grows in skill, personality, and heart." From the very beginning, SMFA has been incredibly patient, supportive, and attentive — not just to our child but also to us as parents. Their openness to feedback and their ability to truly listen makes all the difference. We’ve seen consistent growth in our child — not only in football but also in confidence, discipline, and overall personal development. It’s more than training; it’s transformation. “We’ve grown with our child, and today, we can proudly say — it’s been excellent.” SMFA evolves with time, adapts with care, and delivers with purpose. We genuinely have no suggestions — they’re already doing everything right.

"They are the best. The training is unparalleled. The dedication is unmatched." At SMFA, it's not just football — it’s a foundation for life. From teamwork and agility to focus and discipline, I’ve seen my child grow immensely over the past year and a half. He joined when he was just four years and three months old. Today, he looks forward to every session — whether it's a late evening or an early weekend morning. The moment he hears it's SMFA training, he jumps out of bed, excited and ready. What truly stands out is how SMFA builds more than athletes. It shapes character, passion, and enthusiasm in children — in a way that no other place does. No suggestions. Just gratitude. SMFA is doing it right.
