From first touch to first team
Deepak Joshi started Cosmos Football Academy eight years ago. Today we have 10 qualified coaches, more than 1,000 players trained, six centres and a senior team in the MFA and TFA leagues.
How we coach
Four things we care about in every session.
02
Technique first
Progressive training that builds on itself.
03
Character
Teamwork and sportsmanship, every session.

A real pathway
Competitive football at every age level.
Why "the Ravens"
Join the
Ravens.
Ravens are some of the cleverest birds around. They work things out, they stick with their group and they never really stop playing. That's the footballer we want to raise.
01 · Think quick
A raven isn't the biggest bird in the sky. It wins by thinking faster. On the pitch that means looking up, reading the game and making the next pass count.
02 · Stick together
Ravens look out for their own. Our players learn to pick a teammate up, cover for each other and celebrate someone else's goal like it's theirs.
03 · Keep playing
Ravens play just for fun, even as adults. We want kids who still love the game at 17, so training stays fun at every age.
Black and yellow, like the crest. Pull on the shirt once and you're a Raven.
