Academy Programs

Mini BTX Program: 5-6 years

Focus & Objective:

● To provide an introductory program that allows players the opportunity to build their motor and soccer skills, learn to play with peers whilst falling in love playing sport and being physically active.

How We Achieve It:

● This program has been carefully designed by our team of head coaches to ensure the curriculum is perfectly suitable, enjoyable and effective for children ages 5-6. We split the program into segments, emphasise the development of fundamental movement and motor skills and maximise the time spent with the ball through mini soccer games to achieve ‘ball mastery’ in a fun environment suited to the developmental stages of creativity, imagination and movement.

Key Points:

● Learn to play and socialise with peers

● Free enrolment fees for the first term (try it and see if your child likes it)

● improve fundamental motor and physical movements and build soccer skills

● Play and enjoy soccer in a fun and positive age-appropriate environment

Development BTX Program: 6 to 16 Years

Focus & Objective:

● This program is designed to develop and improve individual ability in all areas as efficiently and effectively as possible.

How We Achieve It:

However we also overlap these benefits with specific coaching and a program structure that teaches players core topics and concepts on how to play soccer at an elite level. On top of a weekly football skill topic we also have weekly mentality topics such as respect, work ethic, and leadership to ensure we are developing all areas of players.

Advanced BTX Program: 6 to 16 Years

Focus & Objective:

● The objective of this program is to allow players to train as a team and compete against other academies in friendly games and Local Leagues. This program is more specific to teaching and developing players to compete and work as a team rather than the focus being entirely on individual ability. Younger and older age groups are taught team shapes and formations by progressing through exercises from 1v1, 3v3, 5v5 to 7v7. Levels of tactical understanding and team shape are taught as ‘hidden learning’ only through the application of small sided games (SSG’s) which are carefully chosen to be age appropriate, challenging but not overwhelming for younger players.

How We Achieve It:

● All training and games are held in an outdoor soccer environment, as a progression from an indoor skill-based development program. We utilise the training sessions to teach players more advanced concepts on how to play football as a team.

● We also use the Local Leagues as a tool to develop players through intense competition. The games are also a way for our coaching staff to clearly identify what the team and specific players need to work on.

Key Points:

● Be trained by qualified experienced full-time coaches.

● Train with more skilled players with a mindset to learning and development

● Opportunity to participate in National competitions

● Individual feedback/report cards every term.

● Strength, speed & agility testing & training.
