Ruiz Football Academy (RFA) is a rapidly expanding company that employs and trains coaches who visit child cares, schools and local clubs to facilitate fun and energetic football development sessions for children from pre-prep and kindergarten all the way through to primary and secondary school. During academy sessions, the coaches focus on developing young football players who are technical, smart and skilful with the ball. In addition, they are encouraged to engage with the most positive aspects of the game; teamwork, sporting behaviour, and even Latin dance celebrations!

Luis Ruiz, a former professional player from Costa Rica, founded RFA to represent his passion for the game and to share it with his new home in Australia. The mission of RFA is to nurture ‘the world game’ in Australia and help develop the next generation to play the game ‘beautifully’.

Outside of the development clinics Ruiz Football Academy offers Soccer-themed birthday parties at customers’ homes, local parks, sporting fields or at an indoor sports facility.

When we visit children at child care facilities, the focus is on actively fun classes that teach basic balance, coordination and ball skills. The children are also taught to count to 10 in Spanish and sometimes learn some dance skills! 

Jugar con alegría!
