Thank you. Glad you enjoy the sessions and trips which we provide. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
Amazing organisation making a real difference in the community.
Everything this group organises is always well thought out and planned, age appropriate and the kids always come away having enjoyed themselves and often having learnt new skills. Extremely professional, friendly and approachable staff who accomodate wherever they can. Thoroughly recommend any initiatives organised by them.

Incredible group
Darnall Education and Sports Academy (DESA) is an incredible organization making a real difference in Sheffield. With a dedicated focus on providing sports and educational opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds, DESA has created a welcoming environment for boys and girls, especially those from deprived areas, to come together, learn, and thrive.
The sports activities they offer have not only helped children discover new talents and develop teamwork skills, but they have also given them a safe and constructive alternative to being on the streets. Through sports, DESA fosters discipline, resilience, and confidence in young people, qualities that can shape their futures.
In addition to sports, DESA goes above and beyond by organizing homework groups and family outings to sports events, promoting both educational growth and family bonding. Their holistic approach shows that they genuinely care about each child’s personal development, not just in sports but also academically and socially.
It’s inspiring to see the positive impact DESA has had on so many young lives. The academy’s efforts to encourage kids to stay engaged in healthy activities and aim higher in their education and personal goals have truly transformed the community. DESA is a shining example of how sports and education can bring about lasting change, building a brighter future for the next generation in Sheffield.
