The Alfa Football program offers a genuine football pathway with top-tier coaching and continuous player development, nurturing students’ talent both on and off the field. The program, available from Year 5, is delivered within the school environment for added convenience. Our full-time coaches, trained in Italy, mentor players in a focused developmental setting, supporting their success in both sports and academics.

Alfa Football programs are open to CBHS students from Years 5 to 12, with options for Elite Squads and Development Sessions.

All students at CBHS Lewisham are eligible for the programs currently on offer:

Camps

A Futsal Camp is also offered once a year during the holidays, where students form teams and compete to be the annual Lewisham Futsal Champions.

Regardless of the program you choose, all Alfa training sessions will take place during or immediately after school, so parents don’t have to worry about getting their boys to training. This provides flexibility and support for students and families to balance football and school commitments.
