Football Queensland is excited to launch an FQ Academy Development Centre in Far North & Gulf providing further opportunities for players to receive high-quality coaching.
With the launch of the centre in Innisfail and Mareeba, FQ will deliver additional high-quality training sessions to complement club-based training for players in the under-8 to under-12 age groups who are part of FQ clubs and competitions.
The implementation of this new centre allows more players to join the FQ talent pool and provides junior and youth footballers outside of the FQ Academy with access to high quality football experiences that enhance skill and game development.
Training sessions are centred around the four core skills of first touch, striking the ball, running with the ball, and 1v1. As the focus of training sessions is on the core skills, no position-specific training is embedded into the program. Age specific sessions will be facilitated to align training principles with the current stage of development players are in.
