The Futbol Academy

It was a wet one down in Tully for the grading day in the NQ Academy League!

With the amount of Football that gets cancelled for rain or wet pitches, it's easy to forget that Football is a winter sport, and it can be played with a bit of mud on the pitch!

It was great to see the kids tough it out throughout the day experience playing in difficult conditions.

Shoutout to the Mums for cleaning the kits! 😬

TBT.

10 year throwback with head coaches .10 and who won Player of the Year, and Young Player of the Year with the former NPL team FNQ Heat.

10 years later we are owners of .futbolacademy and helping develop young players by learning from our experiences in the game, and also the mistakes we made and learned from along the way.

Here's to the next 10 year ⚪️🔵

Technical Master Class — We’re Back!

To kick off 2026, we launched the year with our TPP Technical Master Class.

Technical mastery is the foundation of elite football performance. It underpins confidence on the ball, decision-making under pressure, efficiency of movement, and long-term player development. Repetition, detail, and intent are non-negotiables.

This session is designed to:
• Refine core technical skills
• Improve ball control under fatigue and pressure
• Build composure, precision, and consistency
• Reinforce habits that transfer directly into match performance

This is a high-level, optional add-on designed to complement our Total Performance Program.

Standards = habits.
Let’s get to work. 💙⚪️
