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 learn to play the Arsenal Way.
Arsenal Football Development strives to develop the person as well as the player, encouraging all to be the best versions of themselves in everything they do. This philosophy and values are interlinked to our success and history of nurturing young talent by placing an importance on life skills and developing the right character to create a platform to be successful not just in sport but in everyday life.
Our programmes are built on the Strong Young Gunner model, which focuses on four key pillars:
• Champion Mentality – Seize each moment to maximise your potential
• Effective Team Player – Technical and Tactical Solutions
• Efficient Movers – Ability to move well and sustain throughout
• Lifelong Learners – Adopt a learning mindset to seek consistent and continuous improvement
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.
