THE STORY

After hanging up his boots, coach Craig has a vision - creating a football club that took all the positives from his playing days and left out the not-so-great parts. And so, Hotshots Academy was born. It's not your typical football club. In this football haven, youth football transcends its conventional bounds, shedding the weight of over competitiveness and the shadows of pushy parents. A football dream world materialises, where joy reigns supreme, and players engage in the beautiful game with infectious smiles on their faces.

Under the nurturing guidance of dedicated professional coaches, technical prowess becomes a mere stepping stone to a greater goal: the cultivation of character. Beyond the pitch, the ethos of Hotshots Academy weaves a narrative of profound social development, focusing on the three C's—confidence, communication, and collaboration. These pillars extend beyond the world of football, becoming companions for life's journey, enriching every step with the enduring echoes of personal and collective triumphs.

Our classes are carefully crafted to enhance not only technical and tactical skills but also the essential 3 C's: communication, collaboration, and confidence. Each week is dedicated to a specific technical aspect, coupled with one of  the 3 C's, ensuring that all goals and standard are measurable.
