The QAFC Academy offers an opportunity for advanced footballers from Queenstown and surrounding areas the option to push themselves and further develop their skills, game understanding and ability.

The academy has a range of coaches across the ages from u9 to u15. Our older academy players (u14/u15) compete in the Southern Football League – Southern Football – Football South Development Leagues

The Academy caters to every stage of player development, offering programmes for players from u9 through to u15 at a more advanced level than the local community football programmes.

QAFC academy offers a programme for players year-round, with additional opportunities throughout the year to national level tournament football at Christchurch International Cup and Mainland Football South Island Tournaments and other regional tournaments.

Participation in the academy programme is by invitation only.

Pre-season trails are available as well as opportunities to join the academy at the beginning of each school term cycle.

Trial sessions in Term 1 (2 weeks) will take place from 14th February:

• Fridays at 5.15pm – 6.30pm
• Sundays at 12.00pm – 1.15pm

You will then either be invited to enrol for the Academy for the year, or directed towards one of our other developmental programs. 

Location is the QEC fields, Woolworths side, on the upper pitches.
