Sporting Schools is Australia’s largest school-based sports participation program, providing opportunities for children to get active and connect with more than 30 community sporting organisations.
Football Queensland, in collaboration with Brisbane Roar, is the accredited Sporting Schools provider for football in Queensland.
Schools are able to select either a coach delivered program or teacher delivered program:
Coach Delivered: Most popular program where a coach is allocated to the school to deliver fun, engaging and educational sessions. All coaches are qualified through the FFA and are trained in Physical Literacy.
Sporting Schools football programs can run before, during and after school and are available for all primary Schools and high schools (year 7 & 8 only).
