Vibe Football Institute is a private football academy on Sydney's lower North Shore, training at Blackman Park Synthetic in Lane Cove West and Pottery Green Oval in Lane Cove. Its tagline is "unlock creativity, grow the game", and it says it aims to develop confident, creative decision-makers. For juniors it runs weekly academy training for ages 5 to 15, holiday camps for ages 5 to 13, private training in groups of one to four players, and year-round select squads that play in the Sydney Premier League — an independent summer competition outside the Football NSW pathway. It also partners with Lane Cove FC, and runs senior programs including women's skills sessions and a men's match-fit group for over-30s. Academy training is sold as a membership: one session a week at $33 a session, or two at $26 a session, both billed every four weeks on a minimum eight-week commitment. A free three-session trial is available. Within that, players are grouped by age and level — a foundational stream for 5 to 8-year-olds, and game-intelligence and ball-mastery streams for 8 to 15-year-olds. The academy is run by two founder-directors. It describes Louie Cordwell as holding a UEFA B Licence with a BSc in Sport Psychology and Coaching Sciences, currently first-grade assistant at NWS Spirit FC and previously Sydney FC's U15 head coach and a coach in the Luton Town and Southampton academies; and Adrian Cocaro as holding an AFC C Diploma, first-grade assistant at Parramatta FC in NPL 1, and a former NPL 1 and U20 player. These are the academy's own descriptions and we have not independently verified them.
