Finally … some exciting news for young footballers and their families! Football Australia is piloting a brand new nationally aligned Academy program designed to nurture the next generation of elite players and coaches.
What is it all about?
This program is a game-changer for aspiring young footballers in Australia. Here’s the lowdown:
- Elite Training: The Academy focuses on refining technical skills, tactical understanding, and high-performance behaviours – everything your child needs to reach their full potential.
- Top-Notch Coaches: Your child will have access to highly skilled and experienced coaches, ensuring they receive the best possible guidance and development.
- Clear Pathway: The Academy program forms a key part of Football Australia’s player development pathway, providing a clear route for talented players to progress to the national team.
- Global Recognition: Football Australia is working with FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation to ensure Australian coaching accreditations are recognised globally. This means your child will be learning from coaches with world-class qualifications.
Where is it happening?
The pilot program is initially being rolled out in four states:
- South Australia
- Tasmania
- Victoria
- Western Australia
Unfortunately this leaves out NSW, QLD, ACT & NT players. In our opinion, players in all states should be given this opportunity, even for a pilot. The question is why weren’t they … unfortunately that information hasn’t been made available.
