NUTMEGS FOOTBALL ACADEMY’S MISSION;
Our Academy program
To develop the ‘individual’ technical capabilities of every footballer to enthral, execute and entertain.
- Our sessions are designed so that players will be enthralled in training and focus on each task that is given to them.
- Each training session is designed to assist in the execution of the skill. The emphasis on players will be ‘can you perform that skill in a
game situation.
- Football, like all sports is a form of entertainment. Players will entertain with the skills and techniques that they will develop at our training
sessions.
NUTMEGS FOOTBALL ACADEMY (NFA) is a program developed to enhance individual football development. The concept of NFA has been devised to specialise on the individual technique of footballers, with the emphasis of the final execution of these particular football techniques. Our program is developed to compliment club and school training to assist in the understanding of technique and skill in football. Using a unique program that involves the integration of younger coaches, Nutmegs Football Academy will ensure that more Australian youths actively participate within football, having the opportunity to develop skills from a younger age.
The NUTMEGS program is structured over a 6-week period whereby players train once or twice a week on the chosen technique (passing, shooting, dribbling etc). This concept allows for our coaches to evaluate and assess the technique of the players. This method of training provides the players with a final goal to strive for. If players understand what is required of them, the learning and practice process becomes easier.
NFA training is offered all year and we encourage boys and girls of all skill levels between the ages of 5-16 years to attend.
The Implementation of our specifically designed programs will strengthen the foundations of football at the clubs and schools we are involved with. Developing football within the local community, as well as encouraging the youth of Australia, to lead active and healthy lifestyles.
NFA fully endorses and supports Small Sided Football with our training and throughout Australia. A majority of our development training is based around the SSF playing format.
Football has the ability to inspire people to achieve great success both on and off the field. Nutmegs Football Academy vision is to harness this and assist with the development of the world game within Australia.
