Welcome to the Dallas Football Academy, founded by ex-Premier League & Northern Ireland international footballer Stuart Dallas.

Based in Stuart’s hometown of Cookstown, Northern Ireland, the mission is simple: to create opportunities for children and young people of all abilities to access the highest quality football coaching in a supportive, fun, and inspiring environment.

Going back to his roots, DFA not only develops players as footballers but as individuals, whatever path they choose to take.
