In the lead-up to our next big tournaments in June and November, Bali SBK wants you to come and experience the SBK difference. Spots are available for local, expat, and visiting players.

Fun and Engaging Activities

Short Stays Details
Our holiday camps are held during school holidays and typically last three to 14 days. That means your kid could just dip their toes in or dive headfirst into an intensive and rewarding elite soccer academy training experience.
Camps are available for various age groups, ensuring that each participant receives age-appropriate training and attention.
For out-of-towners and international participants, we offer comfortable live-in facilities that provide a supportive and immersive environment. Our convenient laundry service ensures players always have fresh gear.
Local, Expat, and Visiting Players Welcome
Right now, we have an exciting opportunity for local kids, expat and Indonesian, to train with our team in picturesque Kedungu from May. As we ramp up to our next big tournament in early June, we’d love for you to join us.
If you’re living in Australia, New Zealand or elsewhere in SE Asia, you’re welcome for a short stay anytime. But you may be excited to hear we have spots open for our next big overseas tournament in Australia in November. Come train in Bali and play for Team Bali SBK in Australia!
Join and Learn From The Team
So, if you’re looking to get evaluated, learn our systems and level up your game, now is the time to enroll! Head Coach Brandon McDonald, ex pro football player with plenty of international experience, says to expect an education around the fundamentals of football. But it goes well beyond the basics, visiting players will learn Bali SBK’s philosophy, patterns of play, and systems. Training as part of the Bali SBK football team means being part of a crew of highly dedicated teen players with serious aspirations. All of the full-time students here are mapping out their pathways to soccer scholarships at top-tier international colleges. “It’s a great life experience for the kids,” says McDonald.
Short Stays For Visitors
Spots are open starting in May for the local option (which visiting players are also welcome to enroll for). The Australian tournament short stay options will commence at the start of the local academic year in August. Visiting players will be part of a multicultural group of students following Bali SBK’s academic stream in their own dedicated facilities with workspace, gym, food and relaxation areas catered for. “It’s a special offering that not many places around the world offer,” says McDonald. “If they are in school, the academic side of their development is looked after. We have a space that allows them to put their head down and do the work. The other kids here will be in that process, so it helps them focus.”
Bali SBK’s Super Team
After recent successes integrating young local players on scholarships and competing in a tournament in Singapore, the team is on fire and ready for fresh talent to come cut their teeth. McDonald says his hope is to put together a super team of players from the region – all skilled in the Bali SBK fundamentals and team spirit – to go out and show this part of the world what Bali has to offer.

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.
- Luke J.
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.
