Community

Sport occupies a central position in Australian life.  It is a source of health and enjoyment for millions of people who participate either as a player or as an official of the game.

An estimated 7 million adult Australians are overweight or obese and an estimated one in five (22%) of Australian children aged between 2 and 17 years are considered overweight or obese.

Additionally the basic motor skill competencies of Australian children have dropped significantly in recent times, coinciding with the loss of sport from the school curriculum and children’s increasingly sedentary recreational activities.

Brisbane Force plays an important role in providing local children and children from within our region with the option to play sport.

The Club prides itself in the work it does each year in its contribution to the health and happiness of young Australians.

The Club philosophy is to offer Football via normal Club activities and introduce Football by way of additional community programs to the children and youth of the region. 

Brisbane Force supports Club coaches who have priorities that foremost include;
young players enjoying the game,
young players viewing their time at the Club as a positive experience and young players returning each year to the game.

The Club will provide a pathway for children, young adults and adults who wish to participate and socialise via our Community Football programs.

Development

Brisbane Force is “football focused” we are keen to develop interested and enthusiastic players to their full potential. 

The Club recognises that all players including talented players start playing football at the “grass roots level” (U6-U10).  It is therefore important for the Club to support coaches with these very young teams.

The Club employs a Junior Director of Coaching who has a directive to deliver education programs to assist Club coaches of “grass roots” players. 

“Grass roots” programs will be delivered to young players based on building agility, skills and love of the game. These programs will be supported by the Club with the necessary resources & equipment.

As young players enter the competitive junior section of the Club, they will be graded and placed into “like skilled” teams.  Coaches will be selected with the appropriate level of qualifications and experience.

Grading will be held each year so every player has the opportunity to progress, grading decisions are based on the following;

 - Player’s current ability
 - Player’s behaviour (ability to learn)
 - Player’s ability to complete game instructions
 - Player’s potential
