Program PhilosophyThe Murrumba State Secondary College Football Academy provides talented secondary-aged players a pathway to a career in football. The Football Academy employs a student-athlete model, where qualified and experienced staff work with the students to develop on- and off-field skills. The studentathlete model combines academic performance, with positive behaviour expectations and sporting performance to achieve success. This model has provided a range of positive outcomes, including youth international representatives and national championship winning teams. The Academy provides students with numerous opportunities to represent the College in both Football and Futsal, as well as Queensland School Sport representation (District, Metropolitan, State and National level). We have a number of affiliations and contacts within the football and sporting communities, including Brisbane Roar FC, University of the Sunshine Coast, Pine Rivers School Sport, and a range of local clubs.

BenefitsEach player in the Football Academy benefits from:

Full time, year round training program. Access to high quality facilities. Start-of-year testing and screening, plus end-of-year re-testing Individualised injury prevention, rehabilitation and performance

Science Faculty. First class learning environment with considerations for student athletes. Online events calendar and training schedule.

ProgramThe Football Academy is divided into two parts: the Talented Young Football Program (Years 7-10) and Certificate III in Sport and Recreation (Year 11 & 12). The Talented Young Football Program combines practical and theory lessons to develop a student-athlete, prepared for the demands of juggling athletic performance with academic studies.
