What is the LJBC Football Academy?


The Lake Joondalup Baptist College Football Academy is one of only three Accredited Perth Glory Academy Schools in Western Australia.

The mission of the Football Academy is to provide a player-centred environment where students learn to play the LJBC way and become better people. The Academy aims to develop and assist players to help them reach their potential on their pathway to higher levels of football.

Entry into the LJBC Football Academy for non LJBC students is through a Football trial process, interviews and school reports. For current LJBC students, entry into the Academy is through the LJBC Football Development Program.

Our professional coaching staff work with players year-round to improve each player’s technical ability, decision-making, team play and character. There are a number of opportunities for students to display their individual growth as a player through School Sport WA (SSWA), Futsal WA and Perth Glory Academy Schools Competitions throughout the year. Students will also have an opportunity to represent LJBC in tournaments internationally in future years.
