We're all about development

About us

We are a destination for kids on the Mornington Peninsula that want more opportunities to develop by:

Attending small group training sessions; and
Playing against the top teams at some of Victoria's best invite-only competitions.

We do not replace club football and the cups/events we attend have no representation from the Mornington Peninsula (doesnt clash with club football).

Our aim is to provide an elite grassroots development football program which enables kids to develop:

fundamental football skills
game-related technical skills;
individual fast-paced dribbling ability;
passion so that they fall in love with the game.

Our safeguarding standards:

all staff/volunteers hold WWCC;
we adhere to safeguarding policies; and
we have a child safety code of conduct.

Creating fun games in practical sessions will grow children’s passion for football and keep them in our beautiful game

Unique online portal

All squad members get access to our unique online training portal to continue to develop their skills at home.

Our portal has access to many ball drills

portal kids will have a ball mastery skill that they will work on each week

Why is it free?

We are passionate about football development and believe that cost should never prevent a talented child from continuing to develop.

Note: cost of attending tournaments is split on a cost-per heads basis and kits are a once-off cost to parents.

Our Sponsors

We’re proud to run Game-Changer Football Academy with the support of generous sponsors who share our vision for developing young athletes in a positive, high-quality environment.

Thanks to their backing, we’re able to provide free training sessions, maintain quality equipment and offer more opportunities for our players to participate in the game they love – all without passing on these costs to families.

Their contribution allows us to focus on what really matters: developing confident, skilled, and passionate players who love the game.
