Soccer Academy

The Soccer Academy at Dianella Secondary College welcomes students with a passion for soccer. We aim to develop students into confident community members by expanding their skills and knowledge in a friendly and welcoming environment. Participating students will work on their individual skills and techniques, team strategies and tactics while also focusing on their personal and social skills to develop them as confident and respectful young leaders.

The Lower College Academy is open to boys and girls of all skill levels, from which the most enthusiastic and hardworking students are selected for the Year 7 program and beyond. The academy aims to instill valuable skills and healthy habits for life, in a fun, enjoyable team environment.
