Liverpool FC Academy

St Ursula’s College, in collaboration with St Mary’s College and the Liverpool Football Club International Academy, is excited to introduce Queensland’s first three-year school soccer program in Toowoomba.

Driven by a shared commitment to excellence, integrity, and community, St Ursula’s College and St Mary’s College, in conjunction with Liverpool FC International Academy, present an internationally acclaimed program. This initiative not only hones the technical, tactical, and physical skills essential for football but also emphasizes the social and psychological growth of players, both on and off the field.

The coaching approach enhances academic performance while cultivating vital life skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-regulation. Integrating sports into education goes beyond winning; it’s about building character, nurturing potential, and empowering students to excel academically, socially, and emotionally.

This program will be available to students across St Ursula’s and St Mary’s Colleges and extended to the broader community through afterschool programs and holiday clinics. To express your interest or request more information, please complete the below:

Partnership Alignment

Fuelled by a shared passion for excellence and inclusivity, the collaboration seeks to encourage young people to embrace their potential and train ‘The Liverpool Way’ through school, afterschool skills clinics, and holiday training programs. ‘The Liverpool Way’ is built on four core values: Ambition, Commitment, Dignity, and Unity.

Ambition

This program is not about finding the next Sam Kerr or Mary Fowler; it is about encouraging students to have dreams, to be willing to step outside their comfort zone to discover and apply their God-given talents, to be the best they can be, and to know that dreams are to be achieved.

Commitment

Achieving one’s goals does not always come easy, and we want each of our students to live out our College motto of ‘Serviam’ and be willing to put their heart and soul into everything.

Dignity

We want to ensure that our programs and experiences enable our students to have a positive impact on themselves and others, and to earn respect through honesty and integrity.

Unity

We want our students to be the best that they can be and to work to bring out the best in each other.
