About us

Welcome to Arsenal Football Development Australia operated by Premier Pathways Pty Ltd where passion meets purpose. Our history with Arsenal FC began in 2014 with Arsenal Soccer Schools Australia, successfully running the programs all around Australia until 2018. After a brief hiatus, Arsenal FC are proud to be back in Australia offering young players the opportunity to train and play the Arsenal Way.

At Arsenal Football Development, we believe football is more than a game—it’s a powerful tool for growth, connection, and lifelong learning. Rooted in the traditions of Arsenal Football Club, our mission is to deliver authentic football experiences that inspire young players around the world to play the Arsenal way.

Our programmes are built on the Strong Young Gunner model, which focuses on four key pillars:

• Champion Mentality – nurturing resilience and a winning mindset
• Effective Team Players – fostering collaboration and tactical awareness
• Efficient Movers – developing athleticism and physical literacy
• Lifelong Learners – encouraging curiosity and personal growth

Whether you're just starting your football journey or striving for elite performance, our coaching—led by certified Arsenal Football Development coaches—offers a structured, supportive, and exciting environment. Every session is designed to develop not just the player, but the person, instilling values that extend far beyond the pitch.

Improve your Soccer and Life Skills

Our program goes beyond just football development and translates into everyday life.

Players will learn how to be effective team players, efficient movers and lifelong learners while challenging them to acquire a champion mentality which highlights the holistic learning approach that the players will be adopting.
