Athlete Development
In Athlete Development, students engage with the disciplinary methods and bodies of knowledge focused on enhancing the performance and wellbeing of athletes in individual, team and community contexts. They will develop knowledge and apply methodologies and principles to support participation and individual improvement in a constantly evolving area of professional, semi-professional and recreational endeavour.
Football and Futsal Program
Students enrolled in the Football and Futsal Program will combine the academic study of athlete development with specialised football and futsal training. Through a partnership-focused approach, students will develop their technical, tactical, physical and psychological understanding of performance in both football and futsal environments. The program provides opportunities for students to engage in high-quality coaching, skill development, game analysis, leadership experiences and pathways into community, representative and elite-level participation. Students will explore contemporary training methods, performance analysis, injury prevention, nutrition and athlete wellbeing while applying these concepts in practical football and futsal settings.
Application Process
Places in the program are limited and students must submit an expression of interest. Selection will be based on demonstrated commitment to football or futsal, participation history, attitude, attendance and willingness to engage fully in both the practical and theoretical components of the course. Further information regarding application requirements and selection timelines will be provided by the Athlete Development team.
