Academy Football Skills Training

AJFC Academy 1v1 football skills session

The AJFC Academy Football Skills training program for 2025 maintains its focus on the continued development of our Academy team players and their four core football skills – Striking the Ball, Running with the Ball, First Touch and 1v1. The program will offer a 14-week term of 1 hour training sessions to be conducted weekly with breaks for school holidays. Training sessions will involve high repetition skill exercises ensuring participants maximise their touches and involvement with the football.

The training program features separate sessions for Mixed (Boys) and Girls covering AJFC’s Under 8 to Under 13 teams. Sessions will see players by skill ability into smaller groups for skill exercises to ensure that players are being challenged at their personal skill level. Priority positions (and spaces) are offered to all Academy players who wish to participate. Please note that to ensure that sessions proceed and are effective, AJFC non-academy players may join training sessions where space permits, subject to registration and payment of associated fees.
