LED BY COACHES WITH A GENUINE PASSION
Professional, organised coaching that builds confidence, without the yelling culture.
Parents tell us the difference is structure: players know what to work on, and coaches communicate clearly.
“Learning things he doesn’t do at club or rep training”
Training that actually translates into game performance
Less “perfect drills.” More defenders, pressure, reads and decision-making.
What we build (so it shows up in games)
Pick the skills that match your goals, then get coached on them under pressure.
Shooting

☑️ Skill-based groups so players aren’t held back (or overwhelmed) by age.
☑️ Up to 3 sessions/week included. Most progress comes from frequency.
☑️ Small sessions (up to 12) so your child gets real coaching, not standing around.
Not sure how many sessions to do? We’ll recommend a starting plan after signup.
Why most drills don’t translate to real games
In games, defenders move, plays break down, and decisions have to be made fast.
But a lot of training is done in slow, perfect, controlled reps.
That gap is why players “look good at training” but hesitate on game day.
Our sessions are built around game-like constraints: defenders, reads, pressure and feedback, so improvement shows up when it matters.
If your goal is making teams / more minutes / being trusted late in games, this is the kind of training that moves the needle.
THE COACH PUTS YOU IN YOUR GROUP
After you sign up, you’ll message our coaches with your background and goals.
We place you into the right group based on skill level (and move you up/down as you improve).
So you’re challenged, not overwhelmed.

Frequently asked questions
These are the exact questions parents ask before committing.
-
-
We train the things that decide games: reads, spacing, timing, finishing under contact, shooting under pressure, and decision-making with defenders.
That means players get used to game speed and learn how to execute when it’s messy, which is what games actually feel like.
-
Every player is different, but most families notice confidence and decision-making changes within the first month.
Big skill jumps (shooting consistency, handles under pressure, finishing) usually come from consistency over 8–16+ weeks.
-
Most players come 1–2 sessions/week; fastest progress typically comes from 2–3 sessions/week.
If your child is already doing club/rep training, we’ll help you choose a sustainable weekly load to avoid burnout.
-
Yes, when the group and coaching are right. We place players into skill-based groups, and sessions are structured to build fundamentals and confidence.
For younger players, we prioritise enjoyment + fundamentals while still teaching game concepts.
-
We have training facilities in West End and Underwood (Brisbane).
-
Ages 6–18.
-
Can I find out what group I'm in before I sign up?
We can’t confirm a group until we have your signup details and coach notes.
Once you’re in, coaches can move you up/down quickly so you’re always training at the right level.
-
What if I can't make all of the sessions?
That’s totally fine — many families attend 1–2 sessions/week.
Each group typically has:
2 sessions in the afternoons during the week (between 4:30pm – 6:45pm)
1 session on Saturday/Sunday morning (between 7am – 10am)
At our Underwood and West End locations.
-
Yes. If a player is under-challenged or overwhelmed, we adjust their group so progress stays consistent.
-
Up to 12 players per session.
-
45 minutes.
