WHO ARE WE?

DW Soccer School provides the younger generation with purposeful professional football coaching led by UEFA A Licensee coach and ex-professional footballer Darren Ward who has made over 600 first team professional appearances ranging from the Premiership to League 2.

We are a football training only service based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire for boys and girls from 18 months to 14 years as a support platform to the local community and local football teams. Our ‘Core Values’ are Fulfilling Potential, Encouraging Self-Development and creating a Healthy Environment.  With ‘DWSS Ethics’ of Respect, Manners and Working Hard that run alongside our innovative coaching style, we bring an exciting edge to the football industry.

Enhancing Skills & Self-development

If you are looking for a platform to enhance your child’s football skills and self-development, we can provide just that. We provide value for the commitment you make with your child by bridging the gap between grass roots and professional academy football.  We offer crucial extra professional training which includes good people who want to teach your child in the right way, a player profile (from year 1 onwards) to support your child’s development, a DWSS kit pack, two player reviews per year and reward based challenges throughout your journey with us.

Why Us?

WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT TO ACADEMIES?

At DWSS we want to be transparent and honest with both parents and the child about fulfilling potential, whatever level you feel that could be. Our platform will take away the pressures that some academies can bring, support your end goal and work with you throughout your journey with us.

FLEXIBILITY

We provide a range of professional football training sessions to fit around your current football commitments or after school activities. Small group and individual training sessions are also available on request to fit around you.

BENEFITS OF USING DWSS

The DWSS coaching Philosophy has been formulated from Darren Wards 21-year career as a professional footballer at every domestic league level from The Premiership to League 2 with a UEFA B qualification and currently finalising his A-Licence. Darren leads the way for the DWSS coaching team to provide a professional and educational approach.

COMMITMENT

DWSS are fully committed to provide the best possible platform for your child to develop their future. Our DWSS football kit provides a ‘Team Culture’ which can help support your child along with their ‘Unique Player Profile’ (from year 1 onwards) and two 'Player Reviews' per year. This commitment helps us all to have clear direction to continually grow.

GAIN UNDERSTANDING

DWSS will help your child understand the necessary pathway required to develop themselves in football along with crucial life skills

GENUINE PASSION

As well as being a parent, the journey that Darren has had to become and maintain such a long career as a professional footballer has come from working hard and being genuinely supported by good mentors. Our aim is to continue giving opportunities and genuine support to the younger generation to develop their football ability alongside developing them as individuals.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING?

TONY CRAIG
Ex Millwall FC professional – Over 500 professional appearances

“I’ve known Darren for nearly 20 years and it’s great to see he’s giving the wealth of professional experience he has back into the local community to support the next generation of aspiring players”.
RYAN MASON
Former Tottenham and England International Player

“I was fortunate enough to play with Darren at Millwall and Swindon, he is one of the most professional players I have come across. He is a real student of the game, a player who has played at the highest of levels and able to carry on late into his 30’s. Fantastic character to be around and someone who I learnt so much from, not only on the pitch but also off it”.

Caroline Zverev
Parent

“Darren has been coaching our son for the last 2 seasons, he has helped him develop his skills on the pitch, as well as personally off the pitch. Darren has a vast amount of knowledge not only about football, and has given us guidance and ideas to support our son in his everyday life. Darren is a great mentor and coach not only to my son but the whole team. He is always encouraging and positive, and tries to get the best out of each boy in every session."

LEIGH TREADAWAY
Former Swindon Old Town Boys Manager

“Giving all of Darrens experience within the game, it showed very quickly the impact that his vast knowledge base would have on the capability of the team. Within weeks we were far more competent on the ball and lots of players had a much better understanding of what part they had to play within the team. Cant recommend Darren more highly for his competency, creativity and professionalism."

Neil Turnham
Co-Founder of Football For Fathers

“Darren is an accomplished football industry professional, ex-Premier league player and respected UEFA coach. DW Soccer School offers something different; all round development of our young people, from technical football skills through to 'helping them be the best they can be' as a person in a supportive and fun environment"
