THE FOOTYFIT PERFORMANCE SYSTEM

The Complete Physical Preparation System for Australian Rules Footballers

Video Poster Image

FootyFit is a professionally designed high-performance physical preparation system built specifically for Australian Rules footballers who want to maximise their physical performance throughout the football year.

Your training follows a structured, periodised system designed to progressively develop the physical qualities that matter for football — including speed, running mechanics, strength, power, conditioning, change of direction and agility, recovery, and injury prevention and robustness.

But FootyFit is more than a training program.

We combine structured programming with individual assessment, expert coaching, performance analysis, individualisation and ongoing support to ensure your training is appropriate for you, your stage of development and where you are in your football year.

The result is a clear physical preparation plan that takes the guesswork out of your training and gives you the structure and coaching to keep developing throughout the season and beyond.

HOW FOOTYFIT WORKS

Your FootyFit Journey Starts with the Accelerator

Every athlete is different.

That's why we don't simply give you a program and send you on your way.

Every new FootyFit athlete begins with an intensive 12-week assessment, onboarding and coaching phase before progressing into ongoing FootyFit Academy coaching.

PHASE 1

The 12-Week FootyFit Accelerator

We assess where you are, identify what you need and build the right training approach for you.

01 — FootyFit Performance Consultation 💬

  • A 60-minute consultation covering your football goals, training history, injury history, lifestyle, recovery and individual performance needs.

02 — Running & Performance Analysis 🏃

  • We analyse your running mechanics using VueMotion and assess the key physical qualities relevant to your performance.

03 — Your FootyFit Performance Plan 📋

  • We'll place you into the appropriate FootyFit pathway and personalise your training based on your assessment, goals and football schedule.

04 — 12 Weeks of Intensive Coaching 🏋️

  • We'll place you into the appropriate FootyFit pathway and personalise your training based on your assessment, goals and football schedule.

05 — Performance Reassessment 📈

  • We'll review your progress, reassess relevant measures and identify the priorities for your next phase of development.

PHASE 2

FootyFit Academy

Your development doesn't stop after 12 weeks.

After completing your Accelerator, you'll continue into FootyFit Academy for ongoing, periodised physical preparation built around your football year.

Year-Round Programming 🗓️

  • Training that evolves across your off-season, pre-season, in-season and finals.

Ongoing Coaching 🎯

  • Continue receiving structured programming, coaching support and performance guidance.

Long-Term Development 🚀

  • Keep building your speed, strength, power, conditioning and resilience rather than starting again every pre-season.

Your 12-Month Football Performance System

Elite athletes don’t train randomly.
They follow structured systems designed to build strength, power, and resilience across an entire season.

FootyFit Academy uses a year-round periodised training system designed specifically for the demands of Australian Rules football.

The Same Performance Model Used in Elite Sport

PROGRAM 1

General Physical Preparedness

Your foundation determines everything that follows in the season. In this phase you’ll build the physical base required for strength, resilience, and long-term performance.

Focus includes:

  • Phase 1: Hypertrophy / Strength Endurance

  • Phase 2: Hypertrophy / Strength

  • Phase 3: Hypertrophy / Strength

Training volume is high while intensity remains low to moderate, allowing you to build strength safely and progressively.

You’ll finish this phase with a strong physical foundation that prepares your body for heavier strength and power development.

PROGRAM 2

Specific Physical Preparedness

With your foundation in place, the focus shifts toward building the strength and power required for football performance.

Focus includes:

  • Phase 4: Strength Endurance

  • Phase 5: Strength

  • Phase 6: Strength / Power

Volume remains moderate to high while intensity increases, helping you develop the strength and explosive qualities needed for round one.

You’ll finish this phase stronger, more powerful, and physically prepared for the season.

PROGRAM 3

General Competition

During the competitive season the focus shifts from building strength to converting that strength into explosive power and maintaining performance week after week.

Focus includes:

  • Phase 7: Strength / Power

  • Phase 8: Strength / Power

  • Phase 9: Strength / Power

Training volume becomes moderate to low while intensity remains high to maintain strength and power throughout the season.

You’ll finish this phase performing consistently while maintaining your physical qualities.

PROGRAM 4

Specific Competition 

As the season approaches finals, the goal becomes staying fresh, explosive, and ready to perform at your best when it matters most.

Focus includes:

  • Phase 10: Strength / Power

  • Phase 11: Power

  • Phase 12: Power

Training volume is low while intensity remains high, allowing you to stay sharp while recovering properly between games.

You’ll finish this phase fresh, explosive, and physically prepared for finals football.

Your training shouldn't stop being structured when one of these phases finishes. FootyFit adapts your physical preparation throughout the football year so you're training for what comes next — not following the same program year-round.

A Pathway Designed For Every Stage of Development

FootyFit Academy follows the Long-Term Athlete Development model, meaning athletes train at the level that suits their experience, movement competency, and training age.

During your Accelerator, we'll determine which FootyFit pathway is right for you and make the individual modifications needed based on your assessment and goals.

Youth Pathway

Designed for developing athletes (typically ages 12–16), focusing on movement quality, coordination, strength foundations, and long-term athletic development.

Development Pathway

For athletes building strength and training experience, progressing through structured strength, conditioning, and athletic development phases.

Mature Pathway

For experienced athletes with strong lifting competency, including advanced strength and power development using Olympic lifts.

How Each Development Pathway Works

FootyFit Academy follows the Long-Term Athlete Development model, ensuring athletes develop the right physical qualities at the right stage of their development.

BUILDING ATHLETIC FOUNDATIONS

Youth Pathway

Developing athletes need to build movement quality, coordination, and speed before progressing into advanced strength training. The Youth pathway focuses on developing the athletic foundations that support long-term performance and reduce injury risk as athletes mature.

Training focuses on developing:

  • Acceleration mechanics and sprint technique⚡ 

  • Agility, coordination, and change-of-direction ability ↔️ 

  • The conditioning required to gradually build the ability to run out games 🏃 

  • Foundational strength using bodyweight and introductory resistance training 🦵

  • Movement competency across the fundamental human movement patterns 🛡 

  • Mobility and joint control to support healthy growth and development 🤸 

Rather than rushing young athletes into heavy strength training, the Youth pathway ensures they build the movement quality and athletic foundation required to safely progress into more advanced training later.

The result is young footballers who move better, run faster, and develop into stronger athletes over time.

BUILDING STRENGTH, SPEED & PERFORMANCE CAPACITY

Development Pathway

Once athletes have developed strong movement competency, the focus shifts toward building strength, improving athletic performance, and developing the conditioning required for the demands of football.

The Development pathway integrates multiple performance qualities into a structured training system.

Training focuses on developing:

  • Speed development and sprint mechanics ⚡ 

  • Agility and change-of-direction ability ↔️ 

  • Game-specific conditioning to improve the ability to run out matches 🏃 

  • Structured strength development across the fundamental movement patterns 🏋️ 

  • Progressive resistance training to build strength and durability 🦵 

  • Injury resilience and physical robustness for the demands of the season 🛡 

  • Mobility and movement quality to support performance and recovery 🤸 

Athletes also begin developing lifting competency, learning correct technique across major strength movements so they can continue progressing safely.

The result is athletes who are stronger, faster, more resilient, and physically prepared for the demands of competitive football.

MAXIMISING STRENGTH, POWER & PERFORMANCE

Mature Pathway

For experienced athletes with strong lifting competency, the Mature pathway focuses on maximising performance through advanced strength and power development.

Training in this pathway integrates:

  • Advanced speed development and acceleration mechanics ⚡

  • High-level agility and change-of-direction performance ↔️ 

  • Game-specific conditioning to maintain performance across four quarters 🏃 

  • Advanced strength training across the fundamental movement patterns 🏋️ 

  • Power development through Olympic lifting variations and explosive training 💥 

  • Robustness and injury resilience to tolerate high training and competition loads 🛡 

  • Mobility and recovery strategies to maintain long-term performance 🤸 

Athletes in this pathway already possess strong movement competency and lifting technique, allowing training to focus on maximising performance qualities that translate directly to the field.

The result is athletes who are stronger, more powerful, and physically prepared to perform at the highest level of competition.
