3How every session runs. Built on the two things that actually make young players better.
Every session opens with 30 minutes of ball mastery and first touch. The unglamorous reps that build real technique.
Then we play. Small-sided games mean more touches, more decisions and more 1v1s than any drill. It's also the part they actually remember.
Hear from our players and parents. Devine Soccer Academy was formerly known as CD Football.
Texts from parents and players
Bailey loved the session today!!! Amazing, thank you. It’s really going to help him build.
Hey Ryan,
Just getting back to you. Gabriel loved the session and wants to go back 🎉 When can we tee up another session?
Thanks for the sesh bro🤜🤛 fixed the long ball problem both my other coaches couldn’t fix
Ryan is an incredible coach who genuinely cares about each player's development. He takes the time to understand the boys' individual goals and abilities, so every session is targeted and purposeful—not just generic training. The boys are learning new skills, growing in confidence, and, most importantly they look forward to every session. We highly recommend Cornish and Devine to any footballer looking to develop their game!
Hey mate was great sessions he loved it, as long as u doing the sessions he will lock in please don't let anyone else train him
Hey Ryan,
Just wanted to say a huge that you to you and Hugo for a great session this morning. Boys are still talking about all the drills they did and learnt.
@Ryan Devine @Hugo Cornish Just wanted to thank you for the great sessions you are doing with the boys. The boys absolutely love the training. Keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Our squads develop players competing right across Sydney football.
The things worth knowing before you book. Tap any question to open it.
Club training is built around the team and the next game. Ours is built around your child’s technique: every session opens with 30 minutes of ball mastery and first touch, then small-sided games with lots of touches and 1v1s. Max 10 players, coached by active NPL players.
Squads run at JDL, NPL and academy pace. If your child plays at a local club, at school or isn’t at a club yet, private coaching is the better place to start. It works at every level and builds them up to squad standard.
Yes. The first session is free. If it's the right fit, you join for the rest of the term.
Yes, as long as the squad isn't full (10 players). You only pay for the weeks left: 5 weeks to go is 5 x $60.
Paid is paid. Missed sessions aren't refunded, credited or made up, whatever the notice or reason (sick, injured or away). This applies to squads and private coaching.
We let you know in the squad WhatsApp group. Every family gets added to it once they're booked in, and all updates go through there.
Max 10, so every player gets plenty of touches. A squad runs once it has 3.
The NPL Squad is for NPL players only. Everyone else joins the Junior or Youth Squad on the weekend.
By the club age group your child plays in this year (their year born). Junior Squad is U8–U11, Sat and Sun at 9am. Youth Squad is U12–U15, Sat and Sun at 10am.
A strong player can play up into the older squad.
The NPL Squad on Tuesday at 6:30am is for NPL players only.
Yes. 20% off for siblings, on squads and private coaching.
No, squads follow the NSW school terms. Private coaching runs through the holidays.
Weekends: Chatswood Oval. Tuesday NPL: the Chatswood area (Chatswood Oval, Thomson Park or Bicentennial Reserve), with the ground confirmed in WhatsApp each week.
Boots, shin pads, a water bottle and training gear. We bring the balls and bibs.
By card through Stripe. Squads: we send a payment link after the free trial. Private: pay for the trial session when you book, then each 4-week block of the 12-Week Private Program before it starts.
Start with one trial session ($80 per player for a small group of 2–6, $120 for 1-on-1), paid when you book.
Then it’s the 12-Week Private Program, paid in 3 blocks of 4 weeks ($320 per player for a small group, $480 a block for 1-on-1). Same day and time every week, school holidays included. Pay one block at a time, and keep going after week 12 if you like.
No refunds or rescheduling once a block is paid, whatever the notice.
No. Pick a weekday time and we’ll match your child with players at their level. Groups are 2 to 6 players.
Bring a friend to start straight away, or start 1-on-1 and move to the group price ($80) when a spot opens.
Two ways to train, both on Sydney's North Shore.
Weekend squads by age, plus a Tuesday morning NPL squad. The weekly extra on top of team training.

How small groups work
Devine Soccer Academy, formerly Cornish & Devine Football, is built on reps on the ball. Squads are capped at 10, so your child gets more touches and more attention.
Our coaches include active NPL players with A-League and overseas experience, including Sydney FC, Central Coast Mariners and Western Sydney Wanderers FC.
