Why We Started Sphere Football Academy in Sydney

Built from experience

Sphere Football was created to bridge the gap between Australian football and the standards players face in Europe.

Founder Jeremy Siarakas experienced these differences firsthand when transitioning from the top level in Australia to youth and senior football in Europe.

Having played and coached in Italy and Portugal, established an academy in Cyprus, and completed a two-month training and trial period with Watford, Jeremy gained a deep understanding of what Australian players lack when making the jump overseas.

Through strong connections with Gali Football and player agent Brett Wright, Sphere Football has created genuine pathways to Europe, with proven success in helping players access overseas opportunities.

Our Philosophy

At Sphere Football, we believe the game should feel easy on match day because the work has already been done. Every session is intense, detailed, and demanding, so our players step onto the pitch fitter, faster, and smarter than the kids they play against.

02

Our Program

Built on the experience of coaches who have played at a high level in Australia and Europe. They've seen first-hand how European academies train: the standards, the discipline, the obsession with detail. We don't run babysitting sessions or casual kick-arounds. Every drill has a purpose: improving first touch, game intelligence, speed of play, and the physical resilience needed to compete at the top level.

03

Our Goal

To give Australian kids the kind of football education that rivals leading European academies. We want them to dream bigger, train smarter, and play with the confidence that comes from truly elite preparation. If you're looking for a place where your child will be challenged, held to high standards, and coached with genuine professional insight, Sphere Football is for you.
