At Next Ability Academy our mission is to empower elite footballers with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder through inclusive AFL Football Skills and Education Programs. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive and enriching environment where every athlete can develop their abilities, build confidence, and experience the joy of football. Our goal is to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and personal growth, ensuring that all participants have the opportunity to thrive both on and off the field and enhance their prospect of selection in higher representative programs (e.g. Opens) or mainstream football.
