Assumption College has become the home of the first Liverpool FC Academy in Victoria and the first school nationally to offer a high-performance soccer school program delivered by LFC International Academy Australia in 2023.
In addition to the high-performance soccer program, the partnership with Assumption College will see the school host a range of Liverpool FC community training and holiday programs available to all aspiring players in the region.
The program aligns with the ground-breaking curriculum of the College that enables our students to access a truly personalised learning experience and exceptional sporting opportunities as they journey throughout secondary school. In Australia, LFC International Academy is a partnership project between the world-famous football club and the Australian College of Physical Education (ACPE), Australia’s leading independent higher education provider for specialist degrees in Sport, Education, Health,Sport Business and Dance.
The vision for the new high-performance soccer program at Assumption is to use those combined resources to create an environment that mirrors the one experienced by players on a high-performance pathway in the UK.
This means not only a high quality and authentic LFC football program developing players technically, tactically and physically but also input into social and mental development, career pathways and life skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership.
