Football Academy

Since its establishment, the program has attained sponsorships from various local businesses and are fortunate to have a strong relationship with the Lowood RSL Sub Branch who allow us the use of their 11-seater vehicle. Our sponsors provide funds that allow the subsidising of costs towards to students per tournament, provide a full playing kit to the students in the Academy and subsidise the Football Presentation Evening at the end of each year.

Students in the Academy will be guided by AFC/FA 'C' Licence coaches. This qualification is from an advanced coaching course which specialises in the skill acquisition and game training area of football.  The aim of the program is to develop skilful and intelligent footballers equipped to have the ability to solve various football problems in complex environments.

In the Football Academy, students will have the opportunity to:

• Enjoy learning in an outdoor and indoor environment
• Develop football and futsal skills and knowledge
• Represent the school in both futsal and football tournaments
• Improve teamwork and leadership skills
• Have fun with friends whilst being active

In 2025 Lowood State High School was promoted to the Queensland Schools Football League. This competition can be seen as the second highest public-school league in South East Queensland.  This competition provides regular quality opposition which challenge and improve the level of our students.

Lowood State High School also competes in the Schools Futsal League. This competition involves three round robin days throughout the year culminating in a finals day if the team qualifies. In 2024 and 2025, Our Under 16 Girls and subsequently Open Girls won the Western Conference going undefeated in both years.

These two competitions form the basis of external competitions for our Academy students and provide our students with regular high level competition.
