Welcome
Coastal Football Academy began in 2019 with a simple vision: to provide high-quality, personalised coaching to footballers striving to improve and reach the next level. What started with a small group of sessions on the Sunshine Coast has grown into a dynamic development program supporting players across South East Queensland.
Over the years, we’ve helped players build strong foundations, develop advanced techniques, and grow in confidence—both on and off the pitch. We've proudly supported athletes as they’ve progressed through the football pyramid, earned selection in representative squads, and developed the technical and tactical ability required to compete at the highest level.
We’re excited to announce that Coastal Football Academy will now operate out of Ripley Valley State Secondary College. This marks a new and exciting chapter, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support from RVSSC. We look forward to working within the region to help more players unlock their full potential on the field.

Why Individual Development Planning Matters
Most players train regularly but lack clarity on what they need to improve and why. Without a clear plan, development becomes reactive rather than intentional.
The Coastal IDP exists to provide structure, direction, and accountability. It ensures each player understands their role, their development priorities, and how training and matches connect to long-term progression.
