Take Your Football Performance to the Next Level
High-performance physical preparation built specifically for Australian Rules footballers who want to become faster, stronger, fitter and more resilient.
Most footballers train hard. But without a structured physical preparation plan, it's easy to waste time on training that doesn't address what you actually need to improve.
FootyFit takes the guesswork out of your physical preparation.
We assess where you are, identify what you need, and provide the structured programming, individualisation and coaching to help you develop throughout your football year.

THE FOOTYFIT PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
The Complete Physical Preparation System for Australian Rules Footballers
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 physical 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.
LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT
Your 12-Month Football Performance System
Elite sporting environments don't rely on random workouts.
Physical preparation is planned and manipulated over time according to the athlete's goals, competition demands and stage of development.
The FootyFit Academy provides access to our year-round periodised training system, designed specifically around the physical demands of Australian Rules football.

The FootyFit Periodisation Model
PROGRAM 1
General Physical Preparedness
Your foundation influences everything that follows.
This phase focuses on building the physical capacity required for subsequent strength and power development.
Focus includes:
-
Phase 1: Hypertrophy / Strength Endurance
-
Phase 2: Hypertrophy / Strength
-
Phase 3: Hypertrophy / Strength
Training volume is generally higher while intensity remains low to moderate, allowing training demands to progressively develop.
The objective is to establish a strong physical foundation for the training that follows.
PROGRAM 2
Specific Physical Preparedness
With the foundation established, the emphasis progressively shifts towards higher levels of strength and power development.
Focus includes:
-
Phase 4: Strength Endurance
-
Phase 5: Strength
-
Phase 6: Strength / Power
Volume remains moderate to high while intensity progressively increases.
The objective is to develop the strength and explosive qualities required for football performance.
PROGRAM 3
General Competition
During periods of regular competition, the emphasis shifts towards maintaining important physical qualities while managing the demands of football training and games.
Focus includes:
-
Phase 7: Strength / Power
-
Phase 8: Strength / Power
-
Phase 9: Strength / Power
Training volume becomes moderate to low while intensity can remain relatively high to help maintain strength and power without creating unnecessary fatigue.
PROGRAM 4
Specific Competition
As competition demands increase, physical preparation needs to account for fatigue, recovery and performance readiness.
Focus includes:
-
Phase 10: Strength / Power
-
Phase 11: Power
-
Phase 12: Power
Training volume is generally lower while appropriate intensity is maintained.
The objective is to maintain important physical qualities while allowing sufficient recovery between football commitments.
Your training shouldn't stop being structured when one phase finishes. FootyFit adapts your physical preparation as your football demands and performance priorities change.
JOIN FOOTYFIT ACADEMYINDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PATHWAYS
A Pathway Designed For Every Stage of Development
Footballers shouldn't all train exactly the same way.
FootyFit uses Youth, Development and Mature pathways so athletes can train at a level appropriate for their age, training history, movement competency and stage of physical development.
During your Accelerator, we'll determine which FootyFit pathway is appropriate for you and make individual modifications based on your assessment, goals and circumstances.
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.
The FootyFit Development Model
BUILDING ATHLETIC FOUNDATIONS
Youth Pathway
Designed primarily for developing athletes, the Youth Pathway prioritises the movement skills and physical foundations required for long-term athletic development.
Training focuses on:
-
Acceleration mechanics and sprint technique ⚡
- Agility, coordination and change-of-direction ability ↔️
- Appropriate conditioning development 🏃
- Foundational strength using bodyweight and introductory resistance training 🦵
- Movement competency across fundamental movement patterns 🛡️
- Mobility and joint control 🤸
The objective isn't to rush young athletes towards advanced training.
It's to progressively develop the movement competency, physical literacy and athletic foundations required for continued development.
BUILDING STRENGTH, SPEED & PERFORMANCE CAPACITY
Development Pathway
Once athletes have developed appropriate movement competency and training experience, the emphasis progresses towards developing strength and broader athletic performance.
Training focuses on:
- Speed development and sprint mechanics ⚡
- Agility and change-of-direction ability ↔️
- Football-specific conditioning 🏃
- Structured strength development 🏋️
- Progressive resistance training 🦵
- Physical robustness 🛡️
- Mobility and movement quality 🤸
Athletes also progressively develop lifting competency, establishing the technique required to safely progress their strength and power training.
MAXIMISING STRENGTH, POWER & PERFORMANCE
Mature Pathway
For experienced athletes with appropriate training history and lifting competency, the Mature Pathway incorporates more advanced strength and power development.
Training may include:
- Advanced speed and acceleration development ⚡
- Agility and change-of-direction training ↔️
- Football-specific conditioning 🏃
- Advanced strength training 🏋️
- Olympic lifting variations and explosive training 💥
- Physical robustness and load tolerance 🛡️
- Mobility and recovery strategies 🤸
Training is progressed according to the athlete's competency, needs and individual performance priorities.

We Don’t Guess How You Run. We Analyse It.
Running fast is one of the most important physical qualities in football — but simply telling an athlete to “run faster” isn’t enough.
As part of your FootyFit Academy membership, we analyse your running mechanics using VueMotion to better understand how you move and identify areas that may be limiting your running performance.
