Football Development Program
Develop your on-field game within EEA’s Football Development Program.
The Football Development Program is open for all students to participate in regardless of prior football experience or skill level. The Football Development Program equips students with a holistic on-field and off-field development opportunity within a high-performance environment.
Coached by club and AFL legend, Dustin Fletcher, all sessions are delivered at the NEC Hangar outside of structured class delivery. The key features of the Football Development Program include;
Craft and skills development,
Strength and conditioning, and
Game education.
Coaching Development Program
A new initiative for students in 2024, the coaching development program is designed for students who have a passion for coaching and developing others in their chosen field. Working with Dustin Fletcher who has years experience under his belt, students will develop their skills in coaching, people management, leadership and session development/planning.
The coaching Development Program is scheduled each week alongside the Football Development Program, so students can elect to participate in either Football or Coaching alongside their study and Sports Business Placements, if they choose to do so.
