Kyle is an amazing coach. He works well with kids and engages them with great enthusiasm. A passionate coach who gives his all.

Kylie & Troy Bielak1 review
★★★★★a month ago

Our son loves learning from Kyle and his soccer skills and game awareness has improved immensely since starting at Mastery about a year ago. We feel the program is affordable and excellent value for money. The opportunities are endless — we competed in a National League in Sydney earlier this year and can't wait for more!

My son's been attending the academy for just over a month now and has gained so much from it. He often says he'd rather train with the academy than his club soccer training. The coaches' attention to detail with the kids and drive to push them really shows through in his development. Highly recommend to any parent wanting to push their kid's skills a little more!

The holiday camp at Mastery Football Academy was great on so many levels. My daughter said she thought it was going to be easy and fun, but it was hard and fun! The coaches were very encouraging and the drills were well thought out. Would recommend!

The development I have seen since my son joined is remarkable. It's his 3rd year playing with a club, but after 6 months not only have his skills increased but his awareness and confidence too, and this has been noticed as it's transferred into his team as well.

The holiday clinic, outdoor and indoor soccer sessions during school term are fantastic experiences for kids. Our boy loves it and enjoys coming back every time. Kyle and the coaches are experienced not just in soccer but in leading young players to focus, learn and enjoy the sport. Totally worth it!

I highly recommend Mastery Football Academy. My son loves being coached by Kyle and his team, they are all great coaches. My son has enjoyed learning new skills and making new friends during training and game days — he looks forward to training each week.

Very fast and effective help when you need it, the app is very user friendly and easy to use. And the atmosphere is just amazing — and it's only a two minute walk to training.

Heidi Wright4 reviews
★★★★★a week ago

We're brand new to training, and our son wanted an activity to boost his confidence without the commitment of weekly soccer matches. Kyle and the team have been incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and quick to respond to our questions. George absolutely loved his first session and couldn't wait to return! Highly recommend.

Anthony A4 reviews

We have two boys that have been players at this academy for a number of years, and throughout that time they have always wanted to be involved in everything — holiday, training, elite and overseas programs that Mastery offers. We've seen significant growth in them, both in the game itself and personally. Thank you Coach Kyle and the team!

Dale Gosden6 reviews

I had a fantastic time at the Mastery Football Academy clinic during the school holidays. The coaches were brilliant at developing our skills using one-on-one drills and competitive matches. This made it really fun, and I enjoyed playing with the other kids too. My dribbling, passing and shooting have all improved a lot!

Tyler absolutely loves going to soccer. It's been hard to find something he sticks with, but every Friday he cannot wait to go — forcing me to drop him off early! It's great to receive feedback via the app so Tyler knows what he's done well and what to improve on. I love that we can swap lessons up to an hour before too.

My son has only been at the academy for 2 terms and the improvement and confidence he has gained from just attending Monday nights has been the best thing for him. I highly recommend — the coaches are great at teaching them the skills, footwork and drills to help them improve their soccer.

Coaches are outstanding, and follow a good system of player development. Both my sons participate in Mastery football academy and the attention and coaching advice they're given are on point every time. I'm also a qualified coach and find benefit observing the sessions. They encourage playing with both feet. Highly recommended.

Our son loves Kyle and his team at Soccer Mastery. The Mt Barker facilities are top notch, and our son has since joined Kyle's Elite city team and loves it.

Right For Your Child?

Who the Mastery Induction Is For

Three types of families enrol. All three leave with exactly what they came for.

Club player getting individual coaching attention at Mastery Football Academy Adelaide

Already in a Club

Your child trains but feels invisible in a big group. They want real individual attention, direct feedback, and to actually feel like a coach knows them. That's the point of a maximum-12 group.

Young beginner learning soccer at Mastery Football Academy Adelaide

Complete Beginner

Starting from scratch — and you want them to learn properly from day one. Small groups, expert coaching, and written progress feedback so you know exactly how they're going.

Development-minded player at Mastery Football Academy Adelaide progressing toward elite soccer

Serious About Progress

You're not interested in vague reassurances. You want to know exactly where your child stands — skill by skill, in writing, after every session. That's what four rounds of coach feedback delivers.

The wrong fit: Families looking for a casual social kick-around, or parents not prepared to commit to the program dates. The structure and written feedback naturally filter out low-commitment enrolments — and attract the families who take development seriously.

Think your child fits? Start with the free 2-week induction.

Questions

Common Questions

Where are sessions held?

We run sessions across 6 locations in Adelaide:

  • Ingle Farm — North East
  • Parafield Gardens — North
  • West Terrace — City West
  • Parkside — City East
  • Ascot Park — South
  • Lockleys — West

Saturday Mini Kickers and Mastery Matches run at Parkside. When you enrol you pick the location nearest to you.

What are the session times?

Session times depend on your child's age and location. Common induction options include:

  • Ages 3–4 · Mini Kickers afternoon or weekend sessions
  • Ages 5–7 · 4:00pm
  • Ages 8–10 · 5:00pm
  • Ages 11–16 · 6:00pm

Saturday at Parkside — Mini Kickers ages 3–4 at 9:00am, Mastery Matches ages 5–7 at 1:00pm, ages 8–10 at 2:15pm, ages 11–16 at 3:30pm. Use the session finder below to see exact times at your preferred location.

When can we start?
  • Choose your start date when you enrol — usually available from this week
  • We confirm your first session, both Saturday match days, and your full 2-week schedule before day one
  • Just pick the week that suits your family
What skill level does my child need?
  • No experience needed — we take complete beginners
  • Also works for kids already playing club soccer who want more individual attention
  • Players are placed in the right group for their age and ability
  • Coaches assess this in the first session and adjust as needed
Is this really free? What's the catch?
  • No credit card required
  • No automatic charge after 2 weeks
  • No lock-in of any kind

We run the Mastery Induction because we're confident in what we do — we'd rather show you first. If your child doesn't improve and love it, you've lost nothing. We'll have given away a coaching slot. That's the bet we're making.

What does it cost after the 2 weeks?

If you choose to continue:

  • 1 session per week — from $30/week
  • 2 sessions per week — from $50/week (33% saving)
  • Billed quarterly · No lock-in · Pause or cancel anytime
  • Government sports vouchers (up to $200) apply to your first quarter

There's no pressure to continue. But most families do.

What does my child need to bring?
  • Soccer boots (cleats or turf shoes)
  • Shin pads
  • Water bottle

Sessions run 60 minutes. A Mastery uniform ($99) is required for ongoing membership but not during the 2-week program — just come in what they have.

What happens after the 2 weeks?
  • You receive the final Coach's Feedback — skill ratings across 2 weeks, where they finished, and what to work on next
  • Continue as a member from $30/week, or walk away — no pressure either way
  • Most kids who finish the 2 weeks don't want to leave

No payment. No card. No lock-in. No uniform cost during the program. We run the Induction because we back ourselves — we'd rather show you what we do before we ask you for a single dollar.

Why Spots Are Limited

Every group is capped at 12 players — so each child gets real coaching attention, not lost in a crowd of 30. Across our 6 Adelaide locations, each intake fills on a first-come basis. Once a location is full, that intake closes. And the Induction is available once per child — one window, so use it well. When you see a spot open, claim it.
