Small Sided Football (SSF) Home



WELCOME to Queens Park Football Academy!

In 2012 we welcome players of all abilities from U5 to U11(both Boys and Girls).
The Small Sided Football 'SSF' structure has been incredibly successful since we implemented it in 2008 and we are looking to expand on this success in 2012. Please have a look at our Information page to find out some of the reasons why our SSF has been so successful.

Our home ground is Queens Park (Eastern Suburbs of Sydney) which is part of the Centennial Parkland Trust. The football pitches are adjacent to the childrens playground on Darley Rd and opposite the Pizza Cafe. For information about other grounds click on the Grounds button.

QPFA provides the convenience of same time, same place matches every week for both boys and girls from U5 to U7 which allows the busy family to plan their w/e.
