Your school can engage in Football Australia’s school offerings in two ways:
- Sporting Schools
- Self-funded programs, gala days, events and more
Football Australia looks forward to visiting your school soon and delivering a fun, active and curriculum based program and planting a seed for a long lasting love and connection to the beautiful game and its community.
SCHOOL OFFERINGS - Sporting Schools
Sporting Schools is Australia’s largest school-based sports participation program, providing an opportunity for children to get active and connect with community sport.
Football Australia has partnered with Sport Australia as the deliverer of Football within the program. Each term, schools across Australia can apply for funding and grants to implement a football program for students in kindergarten to Year 8.
Using Physical Literacy principles as the core of our session guides, our coaches will focus on developing student’s movement skills, knowledge and behaviours of students to gain confidence in their ability, transition to a participant of community football and, become a long term fan of the game.
To apply for sporting schools funding, or to find out more information about the program visit https://www.sportaus.gov.au/schools
SCHOOL OFFERINGS - Self-funded programs
Our aim is to spark the love of football in students through fun activities, games and challenges whilst also teaching our future leaders fundamental physical, social and cognitive skills.
We have the ability to tailor our football offerings to suit your school needs, whether that be a one day Festival of Football, multi-sport events, training sessions for upcoming competitions, lunch time sport and more!
Football Australia will link local football clubs with schools to facilitate an ongoing relationship and provide further opportunity for students to continue their football journey outside of school, whether that be MiniRoos Kick Off, MiniRoos Club or Junior Football.
