Meet Your Coach

Daryl Vanterpool is an FA licensed coach and football scout consultant with over five years of experience in the professional academy sector. He's scouted for AFC Wimbledon and worked with organisations like Sisu Sports Management and TalentNet Sports Management, identifying and developing talent at the highest level.

But somewhere along the way, he noticed something. The people who benefited most from football weren't always the ones chasing professional contracts. They were the parents who joined a kickabout and forgot about their stress. The teenagers who showed up anxious and left laughing. The adults who hadn't played since school and couldn't believe how good it felt to be back on a pitch.

In 2021, Daryl founded Live United, a community organisation bringing sports, arts, and youth programmes to families across London. Football for Fitness is the next chapter: a structured programme that takes everything he knows about professional-level training and makes it accessible to everyone.

“I've spent years finding talent in professional football. Now I want to help everyone experience what the beautiful game can do for their body, their confidence, and their life.”
