More Than Just Football

GOAL360 scholars are selected for their potential to grow both on and off the pitch.

We consider:

Football Ability

Technical ability, game awareness, decision-making and potential to contribute to the team.

Character and Conduct

Respect, discipline, responsibility, leadership and conduct at GOAL360, in school and during competitions.

Coachability and Teamwork

Effort, resilience, response to feedback, communication and contribution to the team.

Academic Effort and Improvement

Learning habits, organisation, commitment and progress from each player’s individual starting point.

Applicants do not need to be top academic performers. We are looking for players who are prepared to commit to their academic growth.

Squad balance, birth year and positional needs may also be considered when final selections are made.

READY TO COMMIT?

GOAL360 scholars are expected to:

• Train twice weekly, normally on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Training schedules may be adjusted when they conflict with official fixtures.

• Be available for weekend fixtures and competitions

• Maintain consistent attendance

• Respond positively to coaching and feedback

• Represent GOAL360 with respect and responsibility

• Commit to academic growth

• Work towards individual football, character and learning goals

• Participate in midpoint and end-of-term reviews

Scholars should generally maintain at least 90% training attendance and 90% availability for eligible fixtures, excluding accepted medical, school, religious or family reasons.

Scholarship selection does not guarantee selection for every match, equal playing time or entry into a competition. Competition participation remains subject to squad and operational viability.

How Selection Works

The player and parent complete the scholarship application, including the player’s football background, position, availability and development goals.

1. Apply

2. Assessment

Shortlisted new applicants attend a selection session and may be invited to join regular training for further observation.

Current GOAL360 players may be assessed using recent training evidence, with an additional assessment where required.

The selection panel considers football ability, character, coachability, academic effort, availability and the needs of each competition squad.

3. FAMILY DISCUSSION

4. Panel Review

We discuss the player’s commitment, conduct, academic growth and the support required to meet the scholarship expectations.

5. Scholarship OffeR

Successful applicants receive a written offer stating the scholarship tier, programme fee, conditions, development goals and review date.

Scholarship places are limited and will only be offered to applicants who meet the selection requirements.

Player Development & Review

Every scholar will have an individual development plan covering football, character and learning.

The plan includes:

• An initial development baseline

• Two football goals

• One character or leadership goal

• One academic or learning goal

• A midpoint progress check

• An end-of-term review

Scholarships are awarded one term at a time. Following each review, an award may be renewed, moved to another scholarship tier, placed under a supported review period or not renewed.

Families will be informed of the review outcome and given an opportunity to discuss the player’s progress.

If you are ready to train, compete and grow as a footballer, leader and person, we want to hear from you.

U11: Born in 2016 or 2017
U14: Born in 2013 or 2014

Applications are open to new and current GOAL360 players.

Application deadline: 30 November 2026

Applications received after the deadline may be considered only if places remain available.

Current GOAL360 Players

Current GOAL360 players are welcome to apply and will be assessed against the same criteria as new applicants.

Existing attendance, effort, coachability, conduct and development may form part of the evidence considered. Previous enrolment does not guarantee selection, but current players will not be disadvantaged simply because they are already part of GOAL360.
