A training program dedicated to the critical skill acquisition phase.

About Me
My passion for kids’ development and for the ‘beautiful game’ is the driving force behind the VFS programs. My experience includes involvement with a range of leading professionally run programs and coaching youth teams for over 10 years.
I am fortunate to be a full time football youth development coach. I specialise in the critical 5 to 14 year old learning phase. Research across the globe demonstrates this is the most critical skill acquisition phase in the life of a player, therefore this level of specialisation is essential to provide children with the best possible chances to succeed.
Approach
Vio’s Football School is a football (soccer) school based in the North West suburbs of Melbourne. I provide training programs that considers each young player’s particular physical and mental development. Focus is on the gradual development of optimum technical, tactical, cognitive and physical capacities of players aged 5 to 14.
The programs will benefit children motivated to take their game to a higher level whether it be to fully enjoy the game, join an NPL team, or contemplate a professional football career.
Sessions are designed to cater for the specific needs of each child.
I understand that children will learn quickly, effectively, and thoroughly. But only when the demands of the training sessions they participate in match their skills holistically. Developing effective training lies in knowing what the player is ready for at any given stage of his or her physical and mental development.
