Xavier College is the home of the first Liverpool FC Academy in South Australia and the first school in Adelaide to offer a high-performance soccer school program delivered by LFC International Academy Australia.
Besides the high-performance soccer initiative, the collaboration with Xavier College promises to deliver a plethora of exhilarating opportunities for the community. The College will become the hub for several Liverpool FC International Academy community training sessions and holiday programs. Open to every budding player in the neighbouring areas, these programs offer a chance to experience learning to play 'The Liverpool Way'. LFC's commitment remains steadfast in fostering a passion for the sport, and building a thriving soccer community both on and off the pitch.
More details on the holiday clinics and programs will be released in due course, however, families may register their interest.
In Australia, LFC International Academy is a partnership project between the world-famous football club and the Australian College of Physical Education (ACPE), Australia’s leading independent higher education provider for specialist degrees in Sport, Education, Health, Sport Business and Dance. ACPE is also home to Australia’s first Bachelor of Football (Development, Management and Performance) preparing passionate lovers of the sport for careers in various sectors of the football industry.
“We are tremendously excited to offer our programs to the broader community.

We look forward to welcoming Xavier College to the LFC International Academy and Australian College of Physical Education families.”
