Achieve Your Football Dreams with The Official Football Australia Pathway!
We’re building something bigger on the Central Coast.
Our Foundations Program has been the starting point for hundreds of players over the years and now we’re taking it to the next level.
From Term 2, we introduce Friday Night Foundations at Soccer5s, creating a genuine football environment where players can develop, compete and feel part of the club.
What is Friday Night Foundations?
A structured weekly development program aligned to the Football Australia curriculum, designed to support players at every stage of their journey.
Professional coaching environment
Clear age-based progression
Game-based learning
Direct connection into Central Coast United
This is not just another training session.
It’s a pathway program.
Why we’re doing it
We want to create a football hub on the Central Coast.
A place where players train consistently, families connect, development is clear and structured, and players feel part of something bigger.
This program complements what local clubs are already doing. It’s simply another opportunity for players who want more.
The CCU Pathway 🏴☠️
Central Coast United is one of only 47 representative clubs in NSW and one of just two on the Central Coast, competing in the highest levels of football in the state.
Our program gives players visibility into representative teams, Youth League football, senior football and A-League pathways.
This is where players move from learning the game to playing at the highest level available.
Led by Shannon Cole 👊
The program is led by Shannon Cole, ex-A-League player and Socceroo, and an A Licence coach, supported by our licensed CCU coaching staff.
Players will train within Shannon’s program, be seen and supported across the term, and experience a professional football environment.
