WE'VE COACHED PLAYERS FROM GRASSROOTS, ACADEMY, NPL, A-LEAGUE & OVERSEAS LEAGUES, ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO OUR SOCCEROOS & MATILDAS.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Football Specific. Led by Performance Specialists.

An expert coach on field, watching every movement and adjusting it in real time. Every rep gets seen. Every rep gets corrected.

01

Testing

Speed, acceleration, change of direction and movement quality, measured before anything is programmed.

02

Program adjusted to the athlete

Sessions are tailored to the age, ability level and context of the individual. Players train together, building on their weaknesses and doubling down on their strengths.

03

Coached on the Pitch

Speed, agility, strength, power, conditioning and resilience. The physical qualities that separate footballers from the rest of the field.

04

Retested throughout the season

We test our footballers at key points of the year to measure their progress. You see the change in the numbers, not just in how the season feels.

Four bands, four programs

Each band is programmed to the physical demands of that stage of development, not a generic template. Supported by scientific research and long term athletic development principles.

Hear from the athletes

  • Alexia Karrys-Stahl

    FUTSALROO | UNSW FC | FPA FOUNDING MEMBER

    “Since joining FPA I've become stronger, faster and more explosive, and it's translated directly onto the pitch. The programming and running sessions have given me a much better understanding of my mechanics, and the structure and support from Luke and Josh keeps me consistent and accountable every week. I feel like a completely different athlete compared to when I started.”

  • Mack Xue

    (PARENT, GOOGLE REVIEW)

    "My 12-year-old son has trained with Luke both 1-on-1 and through the app for six months, and the improvement in his overall athleticism has been noticeable. He recently ran a 50-second personal best in his state cross country race off the back of his regular football training alone, no extra running sessions required. Highly recommend for young athletes committed to well-rounded physical development."

  • Grace Arnold

    MANLY UNITED FIRST GRADE | FUTSALROO

    "The training is specific, effective and tailored to football performance, and it delivers real results on the pitch. My functional strength, shooting power and running mechanics have all improved significantly. I'm winning more physical battles and scoring more goals. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to improve without overcomplicating things."

  • Zac Radzim

    SPIRIT FC (JUNIOR)

    "I started training with FPA to work on speed, strength and balance, and I've noticed a lot of improvements in my game. My acceleration is much better chasing balls over the top, and I feel stronger and more confident competing with opponents and shielding the ball. The group sessions push me because everyone trains with high intensity, and the coaches' feedback helps me fix my technique. I'd definitely recommend FPA to other players my age."

  • Ellie Kerr

    MANLY UNITED SENIOR WOMEN'S

    "Since starting with FPA I've made significant improvements in my strength, power and on-field performance. I used to get beaten on the ball and lack confidence holding my ground, now I compete far more effectively, and my mentality has improved just as much as my physicality. The staff genuinely care about every athlete's progress."

  • Harry Souttar

    SOCCEROOS | LEICESTER CITY

    “Josh was the Sport Scientist at the Asian Cup in 2024 and was very knowledgeable of his craft. He worked with me specifically on change of direction and explosiveness off the mark. Being big and tall, these were areas that needed extra attention. He also worked closely with me in the gym working on strength, power and injury reduction during tournament football.”

  • Jodie Drever

    MANLY UNITED SENIOR WOMEN'S

    "I've seen massive improvements in my acceleration, deceleration, change of direction and explosiveness, plus a big lift in confidence on and off the ball. The targeted feedback and individualised programming make it hard not to see measurable results. In a competitive environment, that's the kind of edge that decides selection."

  • Remy Siemsen

    MATILDAS | KRISTIANSTADS DFF

    “Working with Luke improved my strength, speed, and overall athleticism… This program gave me the edge to compete at an international level.”

  • Lily Taylor

    MACARTHUR FC SENIOR WOMEN'S

    "FPA built a program specific to me, addressing the overtraining and gaps I'd struggled with elsewhere. In a short time I've become noticeably stronger, quicker and more explosive on the pitch. I'd recommend FPA to footballers at every level, they can help you get to the next one."

  • Miguel Di Pizio

    YOUNG SOCCEROOS | CENTRAL COAST MARINERS

    “Training with Josh for the National Teams at both international and domestic camps was top-notch. He mentored the squad, showing us new techniques to improve our physicality. Speed and power were big focuses for me, and we worked on them consistently in our sessions.”

  • Polly Doran

    LINKÖPING FC

    "I wanted something well thought out to keep me developing through the off-season, and FPA delivered. I felt far more powerful in my acceleration and top-end speed, the gym work was intentional and specific to what I needed, and the flexible app made it easy to stay on track. It set me up perfectly for pre-season."

  • Zoe Vescio

    MANLY UNITED U15'S

    "I wanted to improve my explosiveness and running technique, and the results came fast. A significant increase in my speed, especially over the first three metres, plus real strength gains week to week. FPA is tailored specifically for football, and the coaching support makes it easy to trust the process."

  • Riley McGree

    SOCCEROOS | MIDDLESBROUGH FC

    “I work with Josh 1-on-1 during my Off-Season to develop not only my speed, agility and explosiveness but whole body resilience before heading back into Pre-Season with Middlesbrough.”

  • Natasha Prior

    MATILDAS | NEWCASTLE JETS

    “In a game that is developing rapidly, strength and speed is so important, and I couldn't recommended Luke’s program more highly to develop this.”

Spots are limited each intake

Tell us about your athlete and we will come back to you with the right group, training schedule and the next available start date. Training sessions are held in seven key Sydney locations, from the Northern Beaches to the Sutherland Shire.

Before you apply

  • No. Group Performance Training is designed to complement your athlete’s football training, not take away from it. Sessions sit alongside club football and are programmed around their existing training and match load, helping them arrive at club sessions fresher rather than flatter.

  • Yes. The testing decides the program, so an athlete starting out gets the same structure as a representative player, scaled to where they are now.

  • Sessions run for 50 minutes, one to two times per week, depending on athlete and coach availability. We recommend an initial 12-week commitment, but there are no lock-in contracts or maximum program length. Many of our players have trained with us weekly since we started.

  • Yes, we coach all year round. Footballers work with us for as long as they like. The more consistent the greater the progress.

This is where faster players get built

One session coached at a time. Applications are now open, wherever you're located.
