The Story

Zone 14 is where games are won. Alice Springs is where identity begins.

In football analytics, Zone 14 is the golden square just outside the penalty box — the most dangerous creative area on the pitch, where the decisive pass is made and goals are manufactured.

Alice Springs is the Zone 14 of Australia: the Red Centre, the creative origin point, the heart of the country where energy, movement and identity radiate outward.

We connect tactical football systems to the red desert — intelligence born from the centre.

ZONE 14 10
Why It Works

The pocket where games break open.

In the modern 4-3-3, the number 10 — or a withdrawn false 9 — receives in the pocket behind the strikers. That pocket is Zone 14. Select a lens to read the space.

Experience

  • Senior Men's Coordinator — Stormbirds FC
  • MPL & U14s — Stormbirds FC (player-coach)
  • Emerging Socceroos training squad coach
  • FNT Training Academy coach
  • Alice Springs school football clinics

At 14 I stepped into the Stormbirds MPL set-up and was handed the U14 junior side. I captained the MPL team at 16, then took on a player-coach role at 17 when the side was rebuilt around players from our own system — developing youth and giving them a chance every single season.

Three grand finals in three years delivered the first MPL trophy in Stormbirds history on the third attempt, alongside winning the league. We then made history again, progressing past the Central Australian finals to Darwin in the Australia Cup for the first time in the club's MPL history. In that period I travelled with the Central Australian Emerging Socceroos squad to Darwin to compete in trials, ran regular training, and coached school clinics across Alice Springs and the FNT academy.
