A few words about us

The Australian Elite Soccer - Football Academy has come to fruition by two of soccer's devotees, George Lazarou and Peter Tsekenis. With the vast experience between them, they have structured development programs, which will assist players at all levels, be it junior level, elite youth level or senior level.

Soccer is Australia's number 1 junior sport but due to the lack of affordable and accessible elite training programs, many talented young players may never get the chance to utilise and hone their skills and therefore they move away from soccer in their teenage years.
