ST. MARGARET’S SCHOOL AND PACIFIC FC
FOOTBALL ACADEMY
The Football Academy at St. Margaret’s School is built for girls who go all in. Powered by Pacific FC, it delivers elite training, academic excellence, and a schedule that supports every part of who they are. Student-athletes excel on the field, in the classroom, and as leaders. This is where opportunity, discipline, and drive come together every single day.
TO THE GIRL WHO PLAYS WITH HEART AND LEADS WITH GRIT,
Our Football Academy is built for girls like you. Girls who lead with intention, who rise after every fall, and who show up ready to grow.
You will train with purpose. Learn with curiosity. Lead with integrity. And you will do it in a place that champions both your ambition in football and your commitment to academics.
“Somewhere behind the athlete you’ve become and the hours of practice is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back.” - Mia Hamm
We’re here for that girl. We're here for you.
This is where your future begins.

WHAT SETS SMS APART
TAILORED TRAINING FOR FEMALE ATHLETES
Female athletes are 3.5 times more likely than male athletes to suffer ACL injuries, and at St. Margaret’s, we’re doing something about it. What sets us apart is our commitment to training that’s built for girls’ bodies, not adapted from boys’. Our Athletics Program combines cutting-edge sports science with tailored strength and neuromuscular training to enhance knee stability, improve biomechanics, and teach safe, powerful movement. Our athletes are trained to move with precision and purpose, building strength and reducing injury risk while maximizing performance.
