Ethan Hulley
UEFA C Coach · Founder & Mentor

Ethan Hulley is a UEFA C qualified coach who has spent 5+ years working with footballers across three continents — Canada, the UK, and the UAE. After playing for Leicester City's youth academy, going on a scholarship in Canada, and scoring 30+ goals from midfield in semi-professional football in the UK, Ethan relocated to Dubai to build something bigger.

"I started this because I want to give back to players — something I wish I had available as a youngster at Leicester. As a Christian, helping others aligns with my core beliefs. That's why it's my passion."
