Football school

The Blue Devils football school welcomes girls and boys at the Euronics Tufano Training Center in Naples. Children learn by playing: technique, coordination and the joy of being part of a team.

How we play

How children play at each age

Children start with 2 or 3-a-side games and grow up to the 9-a-side of the Esordienti. Small pitches and goals, lots of touches on the ball and no rush: this is the grassroots programme set out by the FIGC.

Football school age groups 2026/27

In 2026-27 Piccoli Amici, Primi Calci and Pulcini start on 31 October. Coaches and times for each group are on the Teams page.
