About us

The Triangle Football Development method of training is based on the ancient Japanese concept of SHIN GI TAI. This is the principle of unification of spirit, technique, and power into a seamless demonstration of prowess. TFD aims to develop our players’ spirit through the ability to be disciplined and focused, our players technical skills through the ability to perform football movements confidently and consistently, and our players power through physical conditioning and football specific strength.

Our training system involves small group training (approximately 10 players) with highly experienced and passionate coaches focussing on the SHIN GI TAI principles. Training groups are designed to allow players to train with other players who are at a similar level, and include three tiers of training groups in each age bracket to allow players to be moved through groups as needed. A players position in NPL, SAP, or any other competition, is not a factor in our grading.
We focus on the attitude of players and their ability to perform football skills.

Triangle Football Development is more than a football academy. Players who are invited to join TFD have been identified as having the potential to pursue a professional career, and TFD is the first step in that process. We aim for a 5 year commitment, and will provide professional player management services for players who transition into a professional career. We have extensive links with Australian and Japanese football clubs, and use those links to foster opportunities to play in international tournaments and participate in international training sessions.

Our experience tells us that most Australian players do not receive enough meaningful, deliberate practice to truly develop to the highest level. It is a requirement of all TFD players to train at least once a week with TFD, and at least 4 times a week in total (including club sessions). Our training sessions are designed to create an intensive learning environment, with players continually improving their ball mastery, their football fitness, their game understanding, and their ability to perform under pressure while remaining calm. When these attributes are combined masterfully, you will see a player who is confident, controls the game, and is a leader on and off the field.

Triangle Football Developmentのトレーニングは、日本の”心技体”をコンセプトに基づいて行われています。日本ならではの規律と集中力を通じ、選手たちの精神面はもちろん、技術面での向上に取り組んでいます。TFDでは経験豊富なコーチ、選手による少人数制（約１０人）でのトレーニングがメインになり、常にチャレンジ出来るようなトレーニングメニューや選手構成にも力を入れています。年齢だけでなく技術レベル、サッカーに対しての態度に応じてグループ分けしており、先を目指してチャレンジできる環境を提供できるよう心がけています。
またTFDでは、長期的に選手をマネージメントできるよう練習、試合の分析をはじめ、様々な管理体制を取っています。プロ選手としてのキャリアをスタートし、世界で活躍できるようサポートしていきます。積極的に国際大会、トレーニングに参加し、常に世界を体感できるチャンスを提供していけるよう取り組んでいます。
