Football

For the first time in GPS Football history, 2012 saw The Southport School’s 1st XI team win the Premiership. The decision to split the winter sports seasons in 2012 saw more than 250 footballers playing in more than 20 TSS Football teams. Of the 110 games played, TSS won 52% of its matches, with the 2nd XI, 3rd XI and 11D teams finishing at the top of their respective divisions, while our 4th XI, 11A and 10D teams placed second in their respective divisions.

Football is the fastest growing sport at TSS. We have a first-class development program run by talented coaches, played on fields that are the envy of most other schools. Our coaching program draws on some of the very best coaches in Queensland. Our 1st XI Head Coach, Keith Stevens is himself a former professional footballer having played over 500 games for Millwall FC in the English League and has coached for the Queensland Academy of Sport and Brisbane Roar.

Despite its comparatively short history as a GPS Sport, TSS Football has produced many successful players who have gone on to represent local, state and international teams. The names of those who have represented TSS Football at the highest level can be found on the 1st XI Football Honour Roll.

Football is well supported by our Friends of Football group who organise our season functions and manage our catering services. They provide an invaluable service to our footballers and are a tremendous asset to the program.

TSS is a partner with Westham United Acadmy in Australia
