CFA was created with the ultimate goal in mind; to ensure every player that steps on to our pitch improves, whether they are a beginner or advanced player. Working alongside other commitments such as club or representative football, our experienced coaches will guide and nurture your children to not only better technique but increased confidence on the ball in game situations which they will then take to any game or team they play in. The academy is for players of all levels aged 3-16 and is designed to supplement existing committments – club and representative football included – through professional and structured group training.
With a hand-picked coaching team led by former A-League star and one of the region’s highest qualified coaches Zenon Caravella, you can guarantee your child is in the best possible hands at CFA.
We believe that players will develop their football skills and gain more enjoyment and value out of our program if they are training with others of similar ability, whether they are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player. As a player’s age does not equal ability, all players from U6 to U16 will be graded before they are placed in one of our academy groups of which we have positions for players of all levels.

CAIRNS SCHEDULEBy grading by ability, not only does this allow players who are new to the game or whose skills are yet to develop have more involvement in sessions and small-sided games (and more touches of the ball) but it will allow them to improve their ball skills and build confidence. By the same token, players with more advanced skills will find playing with and against others of similar ability more challenging and enjoyable making sure they get the most out of each academy session.
