STORY BEHIND PFA
Premier Football Academy (PFA), founded and led by head coach Jarrod Burns ex-semi-pro & younger brother of former Socceroo local Nathan Burns, is keen to engagement the skills & enjoyment of young footballers with the Central West region in a fun and innovative training environment. Our program aims to create well-rounded and skilled players, promoting uniqueness and overall athleticism.
PFA offer high-quality skill sessions, holiday camps, and school programs to all abilities and age groups in Bathurst, Lithgow, Blayney, Orange, Dubbo, Mudgee and other surroundings regions.
From my experience, I believe that skill and passion alone aren't enough to succeed at high levels across Australia.
Unlike Rhyan Grant and my brother, who recognized the importance of extra training for strength, conditioning, and nutrition, I want to teach these lessons to the next generation of players in Central West, giving them the best chance to compete at the highest levels.
On the other side, not everyone wants to play football professionally; some just enjoy playing year-round for fun. I had those opportunities, and now it my time to give others same experiences.
