Our Mission

We, Ben and Sam Reid, developed The Reid Academy in 2024 designed for up and coming junior and senior footballers looking to improve their game.

With over 20 years combined experience in the AFL, VFL, SANFL and NEAFL we are eager to share our elite level knowledge with aspiring young athletes looking to take their football to the next level. 

The academy focuses on enhancing AFL skills, fostering a positive mindset and boosting confidence on the field. We welcome participants of all levels and encourage everyone to join, no matter your background or experience. 

The academy is tailored to benefit players at any stage of their career. We believe that a well- rounded athlete is not only skilled, but also understands the importance of team work, sportsmanship and resilience. 

Therefore our academy also includes activities and discussions aimed at developing these crucial life skills. To help ensure personlized attention and optimal development we maintain a low coach-to-player ratio. This allows us to provide individualized feedback and support, helping each player to maximize their potential.
