Football Star Academy kicking goals in Berwick

Some of the kids involved in the Football Star Academy, which has opened in Berwick.

Football Star Academy is Australia’s largest soccer academy and has opened its doors in Berwick.

With the majority of the Football Star centres in and around the city, this is a great opportunity for parents in the area to bring their kids down to try out the programs.

Football Star Academy has established a solid and successful soccer coaching program, which includes a strong and consistent philosophy of coaching. The award-winning program is built on a foundation of highly skilled people, and staff are chosen carefully for their love and passion of the game and their desire to develop all players to their full potential.

Manager Gary Bowering said the community had a strong interest in the sport and the level of interest in the academy’s programs had been fantastic.

Mr Bowering said the academy was seeing kids of all ages and experience, from those new to the sport and wanting to have fun, through to those wanting that extra technical training who were already at FFV or NPL clubs.

“We realise the importance of these type of programs in the community as they offer the kids a chance to learn and grow in a non-threatening environment,” he said.

Mr Bowering said each training session was carefully structured to cater to different age groups.

“We cater for 5-16 years olds and are suitable for both boys and girls regardless of their experience.”

The different programs include weekly clinics, elite squad training, team coaching, holiday camps and one-on-one sessions. The programs are run by professional coaches.
