Why Does Football Mundial Academy
Exist?
 The FMA was created to offer an alternative youth development pathway
to the elite competition structure currently offered in NSW.
 We believe in a greater emphasis in technical & tactical development
through better instruction, small sided games and less emphasis on
winning competitions at a junior level.
 FMA exists because parents now demand a higher standard of coaching
that what is afforded to them at their junior club & representative teams.
 FMA exists because many Youth league clubs do not attract top youth
coaches (they offer little stability, planning and pay) and therefore players
and parents seek better quality tuition for their children.
Why is the FMA Different?
• We can pay for the highest level local and overseas coaches who
focus on developing your child without worrying about competition
results.
• The FMA does not have senior teams so we don’t focus on
relegation or club championships.
• The FMA was the first academy to operate from February to
December where players train and play ONLY with the academy.
• The FMA offers pathways to top European clubs such as FC
Internazionale, to A League clubs, Premier League teams and US
University Scholarship programs.
• We offer teams in 2 centres currently at Strathfield and Carlton.
Why Play for a club?
 Playing for a club gives all FMA boys the advantage of training and
playing together under the same coach all year.
 The boys get all the benefits of the specialized coaching as well as
the regular competition, training facilities, insurance and support
offered by a FNSW registered club.
 It allows for the FMA to grow into the club benefiting both parties.
 Arranging friendly games is easier even outside the regular season.
 We have the freedom to play up an age group without difficulties.

Global Treatment
Parental Education
It’s important parents are kept in the loop,
that’s why philosophies, structures and
techniques used to improve your child will be
explained through regular emails.
Reports
All players will receive regular feedback and
mid-season reports so they (& parents) can
plot progress.
What’s Free Play?
Elite Youth Coach from Bayer Leverkusen Markus
Kirchner was one of the elite foreign coaches who
coached at the FMA.
Up to U12 level it is crucial the boys have time for free play to express themselves
without pressure. It also allows them to implement what has been taught without
being told to do it. Therefore small sided games are incorporated into U8-U12
program
“Too often, we give children answers to
remember rather than problems to solve.”
Roger Lewin, US Humorist, Author
Why Carlton Rovers FC?




The committee of Carlton
Rovers FC fully endorse
the philosophy of the FMA.
The home ground “Harold
Fraser Oval” is the best in
the competition.
Its location makes it easy
for players from the east &
south to travel to.
The club’s only junior
players are the FMA
players which means
plenty of space for training
& no problems playing
boys up a team when
needed.

FAQ?



Will being part of this academy disadvantage my child in the future?
No. Quantity and Quality of training with the right amount of games are the essential factors
in making your child a better player.
Must my child be 13 in 2013 to qualify for u13’s Squad?
No, if your child is younger and is one of the best 14 they will be selected? Any girls judged
in the top 14 will also be selected. That goes for all squads.
Can my son train with the academy & play with Reps or a club team?
No! This defeats the purpose, playing in the right structure, environment and style is as
critical as the training sessions.

Will my child be less motivated not playing in a rep comp?
No! Our teams will play up a year in the St George Assoc. competition as well playing many
friendly games against rep & elite teams. Our Gala Days are also highly challenging and
motivating for our kids.

What pathways does Football Mundial Offer?
We have a structure that allows boys to continue up to 18 years of age after which through
the academy network players will be recommended to overseas clubs, A League clubs,
Premier League U20 clubs and US Universities. Secondly our close ties to many clubs in
Europe means we can arrange the very best of our players to trial for many professional
clubs.
How does your child benefit?






Better coaching, more coaching, more games with more touches on the ball
in pressure situations will lead to greater improvement.
A learning & playing environment where no one screams at your child and
kids aren’t scared to make mistakes. All kids get plenty play time and not
just in one position.
Each year builds on the last, no changing of program, philosophy or
coaching style. No political decisions. STABILITY!
The academy players will have opportunities to be coached by elite
European Coaches from top Professional Clubs. They will be seen &
assessed by coaches who can offer pathways not normally available to local
players.
