ELITE ACADEMY PROGRAM (INVITE ONLY)

U9 - U10 - U11 - U12 - U13

The Mint Football Academy Elite Program is designed for ambitious young players who are ready to make a serious commitment to their football development. It provides a high-performance environment where players are challenged, supported and coached to become the best version of themselves.

Players train three times per week, with each session running for 90 minutes, across a structured Full Time program. The program also includes competitive match experience, participating in high level Newcastle Football competitions and tournaments, providing players with regular opportunities to test their development in a competitive environment.

Key Development Areas

Technical & Tactical Development
Advanced work on first touch, passing, receiving, dribbling, finishing, 1v1 ability and game understanding, with players challenged to make better decisions under pressure.

Confidence & Mental Development
We develop players who are comfortable performing under pressure, learning from mistakes and taking responsibility for their own development.

Strength & Conditioning
Age-appropriate physical development focused on movement quality, coordination, speed, agility, strength, conditioning and injury prevention, helping players become physically prepared for the demands of football.

Individual Player Development

Every player receives an individual player development program tailored to their strengths, areas for improvement and long-term goals. Our coaching focuses on developing technical ability, decision-making and confidence, with skills specifically designed to be transferred into high-pressure game environments.

Players are challenged to apply what they learn in training when it matters most — helping them become more composed, intelligent and effective on the pitch.

Player Profile Development System
Committed Central Coast football families gain access to our Player Profile Development System, helping track and support each player's development across technical, tactical, physical and personal areas.

Leadership & Character
Players are encouraged to develop leadership habits, discipline, accountability, communication and resilience — qualities that extend beyond football.
