Bella Football Academy

Happy Birthday to our May celebrants — Carine, Sophia, Kaire, Coach Jhun, and Coach Elna! 💜

We hope this year is filled with good food, lots of laughter, and people who make you happiest. 🤗

For the past five days, our Bellas have been living in a world of football.

Early mornings. Training sessions under the sun. More training in the afternoon. Classroom sessions in between. Recovery sessions that taught them the importance of taking care of their bodies. Healthy meals. Lights out on schedule. Then waking up the next day to do it all over again.

Away from their parents and guided by their coaches, they learned much more than just football. They learned how to manage themselves, look after one another, follow routines, recover properly, push through tired legs, and show up every day ready to learn.

This past week at Bella’s Seicho Football Camp in Osaka, Japan have been filled with hard work, discipline, independence, and growth. Not always easy, but experiences that will stay with them long after this trip is over.

This weekend, our U12 and U14 teams will take on Division 1 Japanese teams. It’s a challenge we’re excited for, and one we’ve been preparing for the past 3 months.

We hope the girls carry everything they’ve learned onto the pitch and play with courage, confidence, and heart.

Whatever the results this weekend, these girls are already going home with something valuable.

Good luck, Bellas. We’re proud of you already. 💜

Touchdown Osaka! Konnichiwa, Japan 🙏🏼⚽️❤️

In pursuit of our commitment to continually nurture the growth of our Bellas, Seichō (成長) represents holistic development - shaping our players not only as athletes, but as individuals both on and off the field. This is where football, culture, and character come together. 🩵🇯🇵⚽️

Well done, girls! 🩵

It’s been such a joy watching our U9 girls in Unity Cup lately because they’re still so cute and baby… but then they’re also out there fighting for balls, making smart plays, getting competitive, and taking the game seriously.

You really start to see their personalities come out on the field at this age. The confidence, the kulit, the determination, the little moments where you realize, “they’re growing up.” 🥹

And as much as we want to keep them tiny forever, it’s also such a joy getting to watch them grow into futbolers and leaders. 🩵 swipe left to see them in action!

As the school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to honor something that often goes unseen.

Many of our girls don’t just show up for Bella—they show up for their cities, their schools… again and again. Different jerseys, same heart.

This past year, they stepped onto bigger stages, carried more responsibility, and gave more of themselves to the game. And now, as they move up, graduate, and step into what’s next—we just want to say we see you. 🩵

We’re proud of the work you’ve put in—across different teams, different roles, but always with the same love for the game.

We’re proud of how you represent wherever you go, and how you carry that back here with us.

Congratulations, girls. 🤗⚽️

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥𝐬 💛

As you step into another year,
we hope it gives you more moments that make you proud of who you’re becoming.
More courage to try, to fail, to grow.
More joy in the little wins.
And more belief in the player—and person—you are.

We’re really lucky to have you in this family.

Here’s to your best year yet. 🙌🏽⚽️
