WHERE MATILDAS ARE MADE
The FQ Academy QAS is the elite football development program for women and girls in Queensland.
Established in 1992, the program has a strong track record of producing players for Australia’s national teams, including eight of the 10 Queenslanders in the CommBank Matildas squad for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™.
The FQ Academy QAS program is delivered by Football Queensland and provides a full time playing and training environment for female players aged U13 to U18.
FQ Academy Emerging Female Program
The FQ Academy Emerging Female Program is a specialised initiative designed to supplement club programs, offering additional technical skills development for young female footballers under the guidance of FQ Academy and QAS technical staff.
Delivered as an eight-week, term-based program, the FQ Academy Emerging Female Program is open to female players of all experience levels aged between 9 and 13 and provides high-quality coaching in a structured and supportive training environment.
The program is designed to complement existing club training, helping players enhance their technical skills and football knowledge during the critical skill acquisition phase of their development, benefiting both the individual player and their club environment.
Advanced Coaching
The program will be led by advanced licenced coaching staff who receive consistent mentoring and training during the season. Coaches will monitor players development and progression with regular reporting and analysis conducted during match weeks and at carnivals.
FQ Academy QAS Events
FQ Academy QAS players attend a range of state and national talent identification events to track their development and compete for selection in representative teams.
Events form a crucial part of the player development program where coaches can monitor players, capture footage for analysis and provide feedback.
