More Than Just Football
Where football is the tool, growth and community are the goal.
Our Story
At Argentine School of Football, the game is more than just a sport, it’s a way of life.
Our founder, Esteban Messulam, was born and raised in Argentina, the land of the 2022 World Cup champions, where football is part of everyday culture. From kicking a ball in the streets of Rosario to coaching top tier youth teams, Esteban’s journey has always been guided by a deep love for the game.
A UEFA-licensed coach with an impressive career, Esteban has worked with youth academies at Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Australia’s national youth program. His playing experience spans to Argentina, England and Australia, giving him a global perspective and a grounded, inclusive approach to player development.
For Esteban, football is about more than trophies or titles. It’s about community, fun and lifelong skills. That’s why he created Argentine School of Football, to offer every child a place to grow, thrive and discover their passion for the game in a supportive and playful environment.
Whether your child dreams of going pro or simply loves to play, we’re here to guide their journey, with heart, skill and the joy of football at the centre.
Our Values
At Argentine School of Football, our values are the heartbeat of everything we do. We promote healthy habits and joy through regular sport practice, helping kids develop both physically and emotionally while having fun.
We encourage healthy competition, where children learn to challenge themselves while always respecting the rules and their peers. Responsibility is a key part of our coaching, guiding players to show maturity, accountability and care for their teammates.
Attitude matters, we foster loyalty, dignity and honour both on and off the pitch. Inclusion is non-negotiable, every child is welcome, valued and treated as an equal, regardless of background or ability. Through football, we also build fellowship, friendships, teamwork and a strong sense of community are at the heart of every session.
We nurture the spirit to overcome challenges and keep growing, instilling resilience and self-belief. Most importantly, we celebrate effort, not just outcomes. Commitment and positive conduct are recognised and reinforced at every level.
Together, these values create an environment where every child is encouraged to thrive in football and in life.
Why We Do It
We believe football has the power to shape lives. It teaches children resilience, teamwork, community and joy, all whilst building confidence and friendships that last beyond the game. At the Argentine School of Football, we’re here to guide young players through their most important years, helping them grow not only as athletes, but as kind, capable and confident individuals. “Football is our tool, People are our purpose.”
Mission
At Argentine School of Football, our mission is to implement a practical, adaptable methodology across all our programs, one that supports, nurtures and empowers the growth of every child.
We tailor our approach to each player’s unique developmental stage, guiding them to become the best version of themselves, both on and off the field. Our coaching goes beyond skills, we encourage confidence, effort and joy in every session.
Vision
Our vision is to develop good human beings with great life values through the practice of football. We aim to shape not only capable players, but kind, resilient, and socially aware young people. By supporting children in their formative years we foster the development of responsible citizens, focusing on physical, technical, psychological, and social growth.
We believe in the power of community, where friendships are formed, fun is celebrated and children learn to express themselves, feel secure and thrive as they grow into who they are meant to be.
