Our individual training sessions are designed to provide personalised, high-quality coaching tailored to each player’s goals, position, and stage of development.

Sessions are carefully structured to challenge and support players in a positive environment while targeting the specific areas they want to improve.
Whether players are looking to build confidence, prepare for representative football, refine position-specific skills, improve game intelligence, or take their performance to the next level, our individual sessions are tailored to help them grow both on and off the field. -
At Adam Casey’s Football Academy (ACFA), our group training sessions are designed to help players develop confidence, game awareness, and strong technical foundations in a positive and supportive environment.
Sessions focus on key areas including first touch, ball control, passing, striking, 1v1s, defending, movement, and decision-making through engaging drills and game-based scenarios. Players are challenged at their own level while learning to work as part of a team and build resilience both on and off the field.
Led by former A-League Champion Adam Casey, sessions combine professional experience with a player-focused coaching approach that encourages growth, creativity, and enjoyment of the game.
We keep group numbers smaller where possible to maximise touches on the ball, individual feedback, and overall player development. Sessions are suitable for players of all abilities — from those wanting to build confidence to players preparing for representative football pathways.

Our ACFA Speed & Agility Sessions are specifically designed for football players wanting to improve their explosiveness, movement efficiency, reaction speed, agility, and overall athletic performance on the pitch.
Unlike regular football training, these sessions have a strong performance-based focus, helping players develop the physical tools needed to move quicker, react faster, change direction efficiently, and compete confidently in game situations.
Players will work on:
Acceleration & sprint technique
Agility & sharp directional changes
Balance, coordination & footwork
Reaction speed & explosive movement
Speed with and without the ball
Football-specific movement patterns
Injury prevention & body control
Sessions combine athletic development with realistic football scenarios to ensure players can transfer their speed and agility directly into match performance. Ideal for players wanting to gain an edge in representative football, trials, or competitive game environments.
