2025 Tilford Academy

The Tilford Academy is a 38 week program designed for players to develop their skills and love for the game.

The program runs on a 9 week curriculum that cycles 4 times.

All sessions have game based elements and are overseen by qualified coaches.

Academy Breakdown

The curriculum focuses on 5 core skills:

Dribbling

Shooting

Structure

Work rate 

Possession

Information about the training program is sent to all parents and players. This keeps you up to date with what your child is doing in training and displays the structure of the program. 

The Academy program culminates in participation at cup competions across the state. This gives the group a goal to work towards - somewhere they can show off the skills they have learned throughout the program.

COACHES

The program will be run by Nick Taylor - B licence holder and owner of Showtime Soccer School. Nick has spent 14 years in junior football including time running the Brisbane Roar SAP program.

Nick will be accompanied by our NPL head Coach Mark Astley who also holds a B licence and has a wealth of knowledge to draw from.
