Sharks In School

Our goal is simple: create a fun, engaging and development-focused football opportunity for students of all ages and abilities, while supporting schools to enrich their physical education and sporting offerings.

Program Overview

Curriculum-Aligned Football Sessions

We deliver structured football sessions tailored to primary and secondary school environments, supporting physical literacy, movement skills, and game understanding. Sessions are designed to be inclusive, age-appropriate and developmentally aligned with best-practice coaching frameworks.

Experienced Sharks Coaching Team

All sessions are delivered by Sutherland Sharks FC coaches who understand how to create positive learning environments that build confidence, teamwork and skill progression. Our staff bring experience from JDL, youth development and community programs, ensuring every player benefits from high-quality instruction.

Flexible Delivery Options

We offer multiple delivery formats to suit each school’s needs, including:

• PE class support

• Lunchtime football clubs

• Gala days and school-based tournaments

• One-off development clinics or full-term programs

Pathway Connection

The Schools Programs play an important role in strengthening the Club’s community pathways. Students who love the game can be identified early and encouraged to continue their football journey through our Holiday Clinics, High Performance Programs, or the Sharks’ JDL and youth system.
