- BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND -

28 FEB - 1 MAR

After an incredible response last year, we are excited to return to Mackay next month for another high-performance NQFOE Training Camp!

The response to our previous camp spoke for itself – with players not only lifting their level on the pitch, but earning opportunities that have taken them well beyond North Queensland.

This camp is designed for motivated players who want more. More detail. More intensity. More direction. If you’re ready to challenge yourself and take the next step in your football journey, this weekend is for you.

REAL OPPORTUNITIES, REAL OUTCOMES

Our commitment to comprehensive player development goes beyond just running sessions. We identify potential, nurture talent, and open doors.

From our last Mackay camp, we’ve seen:

Abby and Carter progress into an exclusive intensive training camp with Serie A club Cagliari Calcio in Italy.
Finley represent NQFOE in Japan, competing across two major international tournaments with one of our elite junior teams.

These opportunities didn’t happen by chance – they came from players putting themselves in the right environment, with the right coaching, and being prepared to push themselves when it mattered.

THE DETAILS

Open to all motivated players, male and female - U8 > U17s.
2 x 90-minute high-intensity training sessions
Saturday, 28 February : 3:00pm session

WHAT WE FOCUS ON

This is a jam-packed, high-intensity weekend built around the key pillars of modern football development:

Technical ball mastery
First touch and passing accuracy
Striking technique and finishing
Agility, movement, and coordination
Positional awareness and game intelligence (IQ)
Tactical understanding
Speed, fitness, conditioning, and overall stamina

Every session is purposeful, demanding, and designed to challenge players technically, physically, and mentally.

More Than a Camp – IT's A Gateway

Throughout the weekend, our coaching staff will be closely monitoring players for upcoming opportunities – including:

Selection for NQFOE tournament squads
Identification for future elite programs
Exposure to our international scouting network

For players who want it, the opportunities are there. 2026 is shaping up to be a massive year for NQFOE, with International training camps, overseas tournaments, elite development pathways and ontinued connections with professional clubs abroad. This Mackay camp is the perfect chance to get involved, experience the NQFOE environment, and be part of what’s coming next.
