The Centre of Excellence Soccer program is designed to provide students with a high quality, high performance sporting pathway that also prioritises academic achievement, personal development and community connection. In 2026 we will continue to nurture a love for the game while delivering a structured and challenging environment where all students, regardless of skill level, can grow as athletes and individuals.
Unique program elements of Soccer
The program offers opportunities in both Soccer and Futsal, with multiple tournaments to participate in throughout the year in all year levels and age groups. The program consists of:
