UniActive’s 2026 Female Athlete High-Performance Program builds on the success of the 2024 and 2025 programs, specifically designed for female footballers. The program offers individualised training and high-performance athlete support for female footballers aged 14-18 (Year 9 and above) across all sports.
This program enhances athletic performance and mental resilience while integrating key components such as strength and conditioning football-specific training, female health education and nutrition.

The pilot program was a great complement to my training schedule. The technical sessions with experienced coaches helped improve and refine my skills. Paired with personalised strength and conditioning and female health education sessions, the program greatly boosted my overall performance as an athlete.

I really enjoyed the pilot program! Over the 6 weeks, I saw improvements both in the gym and on the field. The female health education sessions were particularly helpful in supporting my overall development. The coaches throughout the whole program were incredibly encouraging and supportive. I’m excited to see how the program evolves next year.
