The Sunshine Coast Fire is committed to developing footballers to their maximum potential in the Sunshine Coast!
Operating the ONLY Full-Time youth football academy in Australia, with an identical programme operating in the United Kingdom.
Male footballers training 16+ hours a week, with state of the art full sports science support and athletic development programme in partnership with Peregian Beach College.
Over the last 19 years the Fire have developed a consistent and recognisable brand of football that promotes a holistic, player centered approach to learning with a focus on developing the Sunshine Coast footballer for our programmes both in Australia and the United Kingdom.
We believe in playing a proactive attacking style of football with the aim of creating as many chances as possible along with an aggressive approach to defending in both the opposition’s half and our own.
When attending a Fire session you can feel a recognisable energy from under 8’s to Seniors. We believe in a unified approach to playing, coaching and being. This has been developed and evolved from our roots as a leader in the QSL to now being a major influence on player development in Queensland and Australia.
Today, we can count more than 90 players that have progressed from our Academy to now representing the State of Queensland, both male and female, with players also heading to the Professional level including Jerrad Tyson, Joshua Nisbett and Jez Lofthouse and Sam Klein to name a few.
