Academy 49

Academy 49 is a high-performance flag football and gridiron development academy based in Queensland, Australia — built on purpose, driven by discipline, and guided by faith.

We exist to guide young athletes, develop their skills and character, and push them to excel — both on and off the field.

Founded by athletes and coaches who’ve competed on global stages, Academy 49 provides elite training, mentorship, and a pathway for youth to unlock their full potential through sport and service.

We stand on three core pillars:

• Guide – We walk with our athletes, mentoring them in identity, mindset, and leadership.

• Develop – We build the complete athlete: physically, mentally, and spiritually.

• Excel – We raise the standard. In competition. In discipline. In life.

From grassroots to greatness, we empower every athlete to become the best version of themselves — not just for the game, but for their future, their families, and their calling.

We honour our Polynesian roots and our faith in Christ. We build warriors with vision, leaders with heart, and communities with strength.

This is more than training. This is the Academy 49 lifestyle.
