QUEENSLAND SOCCER ACADEMY
In 2023 Queensland Soccer Academy was formed to bring a level of coaching and service that is different to anything else in Queensland.
We pride ourselves on offering the best coaching experience to boys and girls of all ages where they will engage in a range of football exercises that are fun, engaging and will help improve all aspects of their game.
We have found that club football and academies focus on developing teams to be competitive and play certain styles of football, often at the expense of creativity and individualism. For us, the development of the individual is at the centre of everything we do. We can cater to the needs of all players from those taking their first steps in our Kick Start program to those seeking to push themselves to the professional ranks.
If you are looking to improve youR individual skills, increase your training time or simply enjoy your football please reach out to see how we can help.
