Football Academy
The SportUNE Football Academy aims to provide promising football talent in the New England region a development pathway and competition opportunities so they can reach their full potential.
Our philosophy is based on the wholistic development of each individual in the academy.
With close ties to the University, we’re able to access and tap into its educational programs and SportUNE’s well-established UNE Sports Academy, which holds pathways for high performance and elite athlete students.
The Academy exists to assist footballers in developing life skills such as; communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and goal setting through sport.
