Academy News

A new term begins at Island City, and spots are open across all three pathways — Grassroots (U6–U8), Development (U9–U16) and Elite (U9–U16). Every new player starts with a free trial at The Arena, Woodleigh, so our coaches can place them in the right programme from day one.

Whether your child is picking up a ball for the first time or already competing in the JSSL, SYL and SPYL Leagues, there's a place for them here. Spots are limited each term — book your free trial or enquire today to secure yours.

Every session at Island City is led by coaches who've lived the game at the highest level. Technical Director Nazri Nasir — a former Singapore national team captain with 110+ caps and an AFC Pro Diploma — sets the coaching direction across the academy. Head Coach & Mentor Rafi Ali brings 78 Singapore caps and a 1998 Tiger Cup title to every session.

Alongside them, Hafizat Juraimi and Indra Putra round out a team that combines top-level playing experience with genuine care for every player's development.
