Xavier college has proudly become THE HOME OF THE FIRST LFC International Academy IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA, and THE FIRST SCHOOL IN ADELAIDE TO OFFER A IN SCHOOL SOCCER PROGRAM DELIVERED “THE LIVERPOOL WAY”. THIS EXPANSION WILL BECOME A HUB FOR EXHILARATING football TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE LOCAL AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITYs OF GAWLER BELT, TWO WELLS AND EVANSTON.
The Vision for the new high-performance soccer program at Xavier College is to use those combined resources to create an environment that mirrors the one experienced by players on a high-performance pathway in the UK.
This means not only a high quality and authentic LFC football program developing players technically, tactically and physically but also input into social and mental development, career pathways and life skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership.
It will not only be players and students that benefit from this partnership. There will also be opportunities for local coaches to be comprehensively trained and accredited by LFC on this project. Developing local coaches through our education and development opportunities is a central component of our approach.
“It is truly a privilege to be able to collaborate with the Liverpool Football Club International Academy Australia, and to be the first College to do so in South Australia. This collaboration is not only exciting because of the programs and opportunities available for our students and the wider community, it’s exciting because of the alignment in values between Xavier College, LFC International Academy and ACPE.”
– Mark Flaherty, College Principal.

LFC International Academy offers young fans around the world an opportunity to learn to play The Liverpool Way, developing participants both on and off the pitch. The Liverpool Way is a philosophy that runs throughout LFC and will be implemented into the Ave Maria College’s high-performance soccer school program. It incorporates the four core values of the club, and these values permeate through everything that we do at the LFC International Academy. ‘The Liverpool Way’ is based on our four core family values:
- Ambition – Knowing that dreams are there to be achieved. Nothing is impossible
- Commitment – Put your heart and soul into everything – go that last mile to do things right
- Dignity – Earn respect through honesty and integrity
- Unity – Work together to bring the best out of each other
