Our Academy
Welcome to our Elite Soccer Training Academy
Team SBK are excited to unveil our fast-progressing plans for Bali’s only multi-sports academy for youth development in Kedungu. Our premier hub for holistic youth athlete development is expanding fast and adding a full purpose-built academy with multiple pitches, fields, full gym, recovery, live-in and café facilities right by the ocean. Here, we’ll continue to run our existing programs from elite soccer academy to casual training and holiday camps and also offer volleyball training as the first additional sport from late 2025.
This sports hub for aspiring athletes across multiple sports will offer a transformative experience well beyond soccer training. (As you may by now be used to with Bali SBK – we focus on growing complete players.) Situated in the still pristine heart of Bali, surrounded by rice paddies and only seconds from the ocean, our new academy will boast modern facilities catering to the needs of both players and their families. We’ll expand our comprehensive wraparound support services by also offering a co-working space in the on-site health café, fully equipped gym and yoga room.
Our Academy
Bali SBK’s Soccer Academy already stands out as one of the region’s top professional youth soccer academies. But more than that: we combine top-tier athletic training with academic excellence through our collaboration with Laurel Springs School, an online college prep school consistently ranked in the world’s top three. This partnership allows our players to receive an accredited online education while pursuing their passion for soccer, ensuring they are well-prepared for both their sports and academic futures.
State-of-the-Art Facilities and Future Expansion
Our future campus will feature everything a budding athlete needs to succeed:
Training Grounds
Currently equipped with one high-quality pitch, we will expand into a full sports academy with several fields and pitches. Our location, just seconds from the beach, allows players to hear and see the ocean while they train, creating a unique and inspiring training environment. We are also planning to incorporate other sports such as volleyball, further broadening the opportunities for youth development.
Live-In Facilities
To accommodate our out-of-town and international players, we will offer comfortable live-in facilities in the purpose-built academy that create a supportive and immersive environment. These facilities, complemented by a convenient laundry service for both team uniforms and personal items, will also take our holiday camps to the next level, providing an even more enriching and immersive experience for all participants.
Fitness and Wellness
Our modern on-site gym will be fully equipped to help players build strength, endurance, and overall fitness. Complementing the gym, our recovery facilities include ice baths, yoga, meditation and a team of dedicated experts to ensure players maintain peak physical and mental health.
In-House Health Cafe and Co-Working Space
Parents can relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or get some work done in our in-house cafe and co-working space, a community hub that supports the entire family’s health with athlete-friendly food. (Don’t worry, you’ll also find plenty of local and international staples!)
Nutritional Excellence
We cater to every player’s needs with healthy, locally-sourced, performance-oriented meals designed in collaboration with a sports nutritionist to ensure optimal health and performance.
Holistic Development
We believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals. Our academy not only focuses on athletic prowess but also emphasises academic achievement, mental resilience and personal growth. Our collaboration with Laurel Springs School ensures that players excel in their studies, while activities like journaling, yoga, and podcasts make recovery and discipline engaging and fun.
Comprehensive Programs for All
We cater to players at all levels of commitment and ability. For those who are passionate but prefer a less intense regimen, we offer casual training sessions and after-school programs. Additionally, for players focusing solely on their athletic development, we provide academy access without the academic component.
Community and Inclusivity
Bali SBK (Sepak Bola Kolektif), our name, embodies our commitment to the local community. We actively collaborate with local businesses, using locally made team uniforms, farm-to-table local foods, and local yoga instructors. Our players participate in community activities such as sharing resources with local teams and collecting rubbish after beach training sessions, reinforcing values of responsibility and mindfulness. We strive to create a safe and inclusive international environment where every player feels supported and valued.
Parental Testimonials
Since joining Bali SBK, Lukas has shown remarkable improvement in both his soccer skills and personal development. The structured and supportive environment has helped him become more disciplined, focused, and confident. The coaching staff are incredibly dedicated and professional, always pushing the players to be their best while also caring for their well-being.

Before Bali SBK, my child did not have a healthy routine. He now belongs to a community where he can build strength, healthy habits, and respect for others. It’s about raising a physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy child—which is challenging for most parents nowadays. Knowing that my child receives a good mindset every day gives me safety and trust as a parent. Noel has started to prioritize his time according to Bali SBK practice. He says: ‘mummy, I cannot miss practice and the match. They count on me, and I want to go there.’ Bali SBK is more than just a soccer academy. The coaches are passionate, hardworking, dedicated, and professional. The program is exactly what I was seeking for Noel. The training, methodology, and environment have brought a dramatic positive change in his life.

Bali SBK is the best option in Bali if you’re serious about a career or scholarship in football. Head coach Brandon is world-class. Bali SBK levelled up my son’s football skills. But more than that: it instilled discipline and grit. Leo’s time at Bali SBK has been a game-changer, transforming not only his athletic abilities but also his approach to challenges and his resilience. The professional training environment, combined with the nurturing support from the coaches, has truly prepared him for the future, both on and off the field. My son Leo says training at SBK is hard but worth it. The training is tough but rewarding, with a fun camaraderie over the top of serious training.

Bali SBK Football Academy has been transformative for my son who dreams of becoming an athlete. The structured training has improved his skills, discipline, and confidence while teaching life lessons like teamwork and perseverance. Activities like journaling, meditation, yoga, and podcasts make recovery and discipline fun and engaging. With the collaboration with Laurel Springs, balancing academics and athletics has been good – this system works for us. More than just soccer training, Bali SBK has provided Vadis with a holistic development experience that has positively impacted his overall growth and well-being.
