About EFS
Developing young athletes and instilling a love for the game, one child at a time.
English Football School has been established in Singapore since July 2013, delivering high-quality football coaching to children aged 2–14 years across multiple locations on the island. Our sessions are designed to be fun, engaging, and inclusive, helping every child build confidence, skills, and enjoyment in football—regardless of experience or ability.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Football First, Fun Always
At English Football School, we believe that children learn best when they’re enjoying themselves. Our coaching philosophy centres on creating a positive, pressure-free environment where players are encouraged to explore the game, make mistakes, and grow at their own pace.
We aim to:
1. Build strong football fundamentals
2. Encourage teamwork and sportsmanship
3. Help children develop confidence on and off the pitch
Every session gives players the chance to apply what they learn in game-based activities and match-style play, ensuring development feels natural and exciting.
FOUNDER & HEAD OF SCHOOL
English Football School is led by Francis Fox, who brings over 27 years of coaching experience working with children of varying abilities and needs. In addition to his coaching background, Francis is a qualified nurse with extensive experience supporting children with complex needs and behavioural development.
Parents are welcome to arrange a free consultation with Francis to discuss their child’s development, challenges, or goals, ensuring each player receives appropriate support and guidance.
Francis is supported by a team of coaches with varying levels of experience, all committed to creating a safe, encouraging, and enjoyable learning environment.
