Full Time Program
More Than A Football Team
5-12 years old
A long-term development pathway for players and families who want more than just weekend football.
Combining high-quality coaching, structured team training, and competitive match experiences, the LTFA Full Time Program is designed to develop confident footballers, resilient young people, and a lifelong love for the game.
Why Choose The LTFA Full Time Program?
This isn’t simply a team that trains and plays together.
It’s a structured environment where players are known, supported, challenged, and guided through every stage of their development.
Through consistent coaching, meaningful relationships, and a clear philosophy, we help players grow not only in their football ability, but in their confidence, decision-making, resilience, and character.
How Does It Work?
Players train during the week as part of LTFA and compete on weekends representing Carss Park Football Club in the local St George competition.
This unique structure allows us to carefully select the most appropriate competition level for the team, ensuring players are consistently challenged without losing confidence or enjoyment.
Training provides the learning. Matchday provides the opportunity to apply it.
By combining high-quality weekly coaching with competitive match experiences, players are able to develop, test themselves, and grow in a supportive environment throughout the season.
Our Philosophy
Football Is The Vehicle
The match is a classroom for life, where every week presents an opportunity to learn.
At LTFA, we believe football can teach lessons that extend far beyond the pitch. This is where the Full Time Program is essential as it allows us to coach not only in training, but on matchday.
While we are passionate about developing better players, our ultimate goal is to develop confident young people who are willing to express themselves, embrace challenges, support others, and continue learning throughout life.
We encourage mistakes, value effort, and focus on long-term growth because development is about much more than the result on a scoreboard.
To many people, the weekend game is about the result. To us, at this age, it’s about the lessons.
