INTEGRITY - DISCIPLINE - RESPECT - COMMITMENT - HUMILITY
OUR METHODOLOGY
Our Methodology focuses on helping players become the best player they can be regardless of their ability. We have proven with our players that if they are willing to learn and are coachable players, they can improve. We are proud to witness many of our players grow and become leaders and captains for their current teams.
​
Our main training drills involve ball skills, fitness, speed and building confidence in players how to beat defenders 1 v 1 as well as repetition of these drills. Our training program involves mental toughness training where we motivate our players to try their hardest when they are tired or when they feel like giving up and try their hardest when they are faced with obstacles on the field.
We aim to drive our players to be physically and mentally fit in the second half of their match and to put 100% effort into the final seconds. We aim to build up our players to become advocates and show their coaches and teammates they never give up.
​
A big part of our training program is educating the players to become the best version of themselves so if they ever leave football one day, they will remember the values learnt from MMFA and continue those values off the field.
​

Personal Development
Personal development is a huge part of life at MFAA - not just players but also for our coaches who have had the opportunity to participate in clinics with other academies from Australia. Some of these clinics include
​
-
FC Barcelona Escol/Real Madrid Foundation Clinic and
-
Celtic International Football Academy.
Our coaches have been able to witness how these academies train and educate their players, adopt advanced training techniques and integrate international standards locally to drive player success.


Accomplishments
MMFA was fortunate enough to be able to send two players to Argentina to train at Club Atletico San Jorge. Our Senior Coach Gabriel WILK supported the players get introduced to the club through his network and relationships with the coaching staff.
Wilk has years of experience with coaching first grade teams, most recently for Cooma Tigers FC. He has also won many premiership titles throughout the years in Canberra and proudly won the FFA Cup in Canberra 2019.
His experience in coaching is informed by his background of playing football, where he played for Argentina professionally.

Gradings
Since 2019, MFAA has been involved in helping community clubs within Canberra with independent gradings from ages 10 to 18. We support clubs go through their internal processes for gradings by running structured and seamless sessions to allow coaches to focus their attention on the players. We also enable clubs to grade fairly and equally by being an independent partner.
MFAA continues to help with clubs around Canberra with gradings so if you are interested getting support, please do not hesitate to send us an email for further information.
