Based in Sydney, AFFA is Australia's first dedicated freestyle football academy. Our academy offers specialised coaching in a boutique, high-quality environment.
Designed for accessibility, AFFA welcomes all skill levels looking to learn, improve, and/or express themselves through freestyle football. With our community-focused approach, we are working hard to build the next generation of freestyle footballers in Australia.
An in-person freestyle workshop. Beginner-friendly. Inspiring for advanced players. Built around four things:
Improve your skills with the ball. Whether you're taking your first touches or mastering advanced combinations, freestyle football offers endless opportunities to develop your technique. Our experienced coaches provide personalised guidance to help you progress at your own pace and unlock the next level of your game.
Learn to express yourself with the ball. Freestyle football is more than learning the moves: It is about developing your own style. Each session with us will be an opportunity to experiment, create, and discover what makes your freestyle unique.
Build confidence in specialised groups with real coaches and real attention. AFFA wants every participant to leave not only with new tricks but with greater self-belief and a sharper overall game. Whether you're learning your first trick or refining advanced skills, our coaches provide personalised feedback and encouragement every step of the way.
Join a special, unique community. The Australian freestyle community brings together people from all backgrounds through shared passion. AFFA designs its sessions to be supportive, inclusive, and social. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced freestyler, you'll find a place to belong at AFFA.
