Australian Academy of Football

Reinforced, it is difficult for players to progress and excel in the sport. Our experienced coaches will work closely with your child to ensure they master these fundamental skills.

Where does the training take place? Our training sessions are held at Cooke Park in Belfield. We are fortunate to have a full-sized, synthetic pitch available for our use. This provides a high-quality playing surface that allows players to fully focus on their skills and techniques.

Who are the coaches at AAF? Our coaching staff is led by Bill Galanis, who serves as the head coach. Bill brings his extensive experience and passion for the sport to every training session. He is joined by Kosta Galanis and Johnny Di Biase, who serve as assistant coaches.

Together, they create a dynamic and supportive learning environment for our players.

What age group is AAF designed for? AAF is designed for children aged between 8 and 14 years old. These are crucial development years for players as they mature and progress in their athletic abilities. Our training methods and curriculum are tailored to this age group, ensuring that each player receives the appropriate instruction and guidance.

What is the philosophy behind AAF? At AAF, we believe in providing a structured learning environment where children can maximise their learning and skills at an early stage. We aim to instil a love for the sport and create lasting memories for our players. Additionally, we emphasise the importance of teamwork, social problem solving, respect, discipline, and sportsmanship.

What sets AAF apart from other academies? What sets AAF apart is our commitment to developing the basics of football. We recognise that many young players fail to reach their full potential due to a lack of proficiency in these fundamental skills. Our focus on perfecting control, passing, and shooting with both feet sets our players up for success.

Additionally, we prioritise creating a supportive and inclusive community for our parents and players, fostering strong relationships and lasting connexions.
